No right of way marked.

I'm not a dog hater and it isn't earth shattering if someone's dog takes a crap in my yard as long as they pick it up (which isn't always the case) but the fact remains that, at least in some neighborhoods, if you are assuming it is fine to walk your dog on the front edge of someone else's lawn because it is a "right of way" you are probably mistaken. Except in Retiredguy123's neighborhood.

The Villages Florida
Interesting. The plat does show a right of way line (R/W), but, it looks like it is located in the street pavement area? There is no indication on the plat where the street pavement is located. But, I suspect that your house is not the normal plat in The Villages. Most houses have a right of way area that extends beyond the street pavement edge or curb.
