Letters Dog Exercise Published in AM NEW YORK, 8/7/06:

August 7, 2006 Your article on leash laws illustrated some major misconceptions
potential dog guardians have ('Dog Fight,' Aug. 4). One of the Q and A respondents claimed enforcement of leash laws would
cause "... a lot of people to not get a dog. I live in a studio. (Being
off-leash) is critical for the well-being of a dog." Not true. Dogs all over the country do very well living in apartments and
being walked on a leash. Another stated she "would have to move out of the
city. No dog can be well-behaved without enough exercise." Both statements are incorrect. I am in favor of dog parks; but to imply
that the only 'real' exercise a dog gets is off-leash is ridiculous. --Kiley Blackman, Animal Defenders of Westchester
