    "Around here, owners seem to mistreat their dogs. There are plenty of ambulances, so if your dog were to howl, many people would get mad as not everybody in this area likes dogs. They probably wouldnt like this area, as people do not hesitate to call the cops on your dog, even if they hadnt done anything. There are a lot of bikers and people who walk throughout the neighborhood, so if your dog regularly chases people, then it would not be the best place for them."
