In my opinion, I have seen far too many village dog owners that are inconsiderate to non-animal aficionados.

Based upon my aforementioned experience any," friendly" dog that advances to someone, albeit a sniff or soliciting a pet is an invasion of personal space. That has occurred to me on many occasions as I frequent the squares.
I was commenting on the OP's inconsiderateness of some dog owners irregardless of whether it is poo, ****, or leashing.

I believe you are confused. No. You do not agree with the O.P. (that's me!).
You seem to agree with the entire comment which is quoted and contained "get rid of your dog." !!!

YOU stepped on a dog's foot and was bittten? THAT has nothing to do with whether or not a dog is friendly!
Uhhh . . . excuse me, but whose fault was that? You were a child? And where was your mother?

"Non-animal aficionados" ???

One suggestion I can make to you is to not go to any of the squares.
I do not believe there is any such thing as "personal space" in a public area as large as one of the squares.
You have the ability to walk where no one else is sitting, standing or walking. Your choice.

And in your last sentence you referred to my inconsiderateness? What did I do or say to deserve that?
And BTW, there is no such word as irregardless, and poo, ****, or leashing. ???
