I think you are correct. I can't believe that as long as The Villages have been around, no one has been bit by a dog. I like dogs, even though I don't have one. I just don't have the time for one. I think that the squares should be off limits to dogs, with the exception if it is a work dog. It's just not a place for animals. As a lot of people have said in this entire thread and I believe everyone agrees, dogs can turn on someone quick, even if they are a freindly breed. It is not worth the risk of getting bit and you possibly losing everything you have due to a law suit. While I was in the military, the base mailman was attacked by a dog while delivering mail. The mailman killed the dog by pinning it down and breaking its neck. The home owner tried to sue the mailman and lost. He was counter sued by the mailman and won the case. This was also detrimental to his military career as he was reprimanded for this. Not worth losing everything for things like this. Again, there are places for animals and there are places animals should not be.
