dogs in the neighborhood

When we go out for walks in the evenings, we are seeing so many dogs in the neighborhood. They're all pet dogs of course, and all dogs in our community need to be on a leash at all times. There is even a new pet accessories store opening up soon, the sign is up and they're finishing up last minute stuff inside. Apparently, one of the biggest sellers these days is the gps pet locator, which I'm sure is handy if you leave your dog open to run around. Here there are so many families with little kids, that it's just not safe, especially when some of the dogs are so large and come out with mesh muzzles. They look scary to me.
