Missing this dog?

I appreciate all of the concern that has been generated over Waverly, she is old and as such likes to take limited walks. She has been coming to the dog park for years and is comfortable waiting for me at the top of the hill. I walk my two younger dogs with my lacrosse stick. Yes I am that guy. I may get her a shirt that says-not lost-. Appreciate the concern she is safe at home tonight as every night. Cheers!

Please leash your dog.

I’m glad she’s ok and with her owner. One real question though — how on earth do you walk dogs with a lacrosse stick?

Good to hear, but really there are many responsible owners of dog aggressive dogs that have a very hard time simply walking their dog in safety due to unleashed dogs. I have seen so many unleashed dogs around, which puts an undo burden on such owners and their dogs. And having a dog aggressive dog is not the owner’s “fault,” Richmond is full of wonderful rescued dogs that simply require controlled interactions with other dogs, which unleashed dogs do not allow. I say this to everyone – even if your dog is friendly, that doesn’t mean another dog being responsibly walked on leash is, and if an altercation occurs, the unleashed dog’s owner is at fault, not the other way around.
