    "As I do not own a dog, I can only say that there are a great deal of safe sidewalks and community parks to take your dogs to (leashed of course). For the amount of dogs I’ve seen in the last year, a dog in the area wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Quiet community and everyone you pass on the street greets you pleasantly. "
