To dog owners

I am very impressed with todays dog owners as I rarely see dogs not on leashes or leaving a dog poo along the roadway. This note is for the tiny percentage of you that don't tie your dogs up.
We travel with a Siamese cat that loves to go on walks on the leash to check out the area. It has only happened three or four times in the last five years but never the less, pretty scary. We were at Pismo Beach going for a walk when a dog silently attacked our cat who I was able to pick up in the nick of time. This situation is akin to picking up twenty razor blades swirling in the wind as our Winnie is pretty frightened and doesn't always recognized a helping hand and I am the one who comes out looking like I went to an apprentice barber. Thanks for any help in this matter. Please keep you dogs on a tether.

    Did you report the 'at large' dog? Pismo Beach does have a leash law.

    I hope your talking about the owner. The dog is just being a dog.



    Dog first owner second if needed. If your dog is aggressive it doesn't belong in public gatherings. Is it permissible for a dog to bite? After all their just being a dog. We have two... If they were allowed to be in a position to bite another pet or person because we failed to control them, swing away. It would be my fault.

    Leave it home if you can't control it.

  • Unfortunately, the type of dog owner that does not pick up or leash their animal, does not read this forum.

    You are preaching to the choir.

    Thank you for leashing your cat.

    So many cat owners think the leash laws do not apply to them.
