    "Dog owners would like that there is a park nearby and it easy to not get lost. What dog owners wouldn't like is that other dog owners don't pick up after their dogs and a lot of people in this area seem to watch you and pay attention to your dogs"

    "I’m a dog owner as well. We walk our dog all times & see a lot more dog owners doing the same. One thing I like is that I never see poop that was left behind, which means we clean up behind our dogs. "

    "Dog owners would like the fact that they could walk their dogs and let them loose if they’re properly trained but they would not like that some people are cruel and they could harm their animal so it just depends on the specific area and how trained the dog is "
