Allowing dogs off leash in city parks from late at night through the
morning is a judicious and prudent way of encouraging better socialization
and health for the dogs of New York. The benefits are too many to mention. |

Lisa Monroig :
My two little dogs and I benefit greatly from off-leash hours and I believe
ALL parks should offer them. Dogs cannot get a healthy amount of exercise
and socialization restrained on a 6-foot leash. The closest dog run to my
home is very dirty, often has overly aggressive dogs, and the pebbles are
so sharp they cut my little dogs' feet. Being able to run on the grass
in a quiet corner of a park is healthy for both my pups and myself.
Additionally, this is a great time to bond with other involved community
members. My pups get along with humans and animals alike, and we always
clean up after ourselves. By spending this time in the park, dog owners
also provide a vital service of deterring crimes. It is a win-win policy
for all of us. |

Ruth Katz :
Please save the off-leash hours....our dogs desperately need this
courtesy...and need it to be legalized. If the city had enough dog runs
(and large enough dog runs), and if Central Park had a few dog runs, we
might not need the off-leash time, but with inadequate play space for dogs,
the off-leash hours are vital. Thanks! |

Caren Gurwitz :
The off-leash "law" is important for the physical and mental
health of a dog, as well as the owner. Dogs need exercise and they need to
socialize. This makes them calm and friendly towards people and other
dogs. Additionally, dog owners help keep the parks safe, as they are in
the park at all hours of the day and night giving their dogs exercise, as
well as their necessary walks. Taking away off-leash laws would take some
dogwalkers out of the park, and make it less safe. |

A tired dog is a happy dog. A tired and happy dog is a good dog! Thanks for
allowing NY dogs and the humans who love them this invaluable park access.
We are happy to keep the park clean in return, and happy that our daily
presence there makes the park safer for everyone. |

NYC dogs are some of the happiest dogs on the planet because they get more
attention and play time from their beloved owners who have places like NYC
parks to take them to play and socialize with other dogs and people instead
of just letting them try to enterain themselves on their own in a suburban
backyard. |

I fully support this effort and agree with the proposal to strengthen the
responsibilities of all dog owners using the parks. It is through
responsible dog ownership that the plan to secure off-leash hours can work
for everyone. |

Kevin Rocap :
Off-leash times should be preserved and extended. Many more people benefit
from a city of happy and healthy pets than just the pet owners, imho. Dogs
lend a special character and, perhaps ironically, help to
"humanize" the city. Including them more fully is not that hard
to do. |
