    "Dog owners would have to be careful of being attacked by other dogs, being mugged, and, stalked. Dec 2023 a man’s nose and ear were bitten off by 2 loose dogs next to the park in the area where all the kids go play in the summer. I have personally been stalked while walking my dog, had a weapon pointed at me for just walking the dog around the block, and had an aggressive dog jump the fence 2x to get to my dog. Now we drive to safer towns to go on walks because of how dangerous it has been just to walk around the block with our dog. "
