WRONG! That area Is NOT a right of way! It is an "Easement" , an area on Your property that utility workers may use to access their equipment. The general public, with or without dogs, have no right to use it without your permission.
Who owns it? You own it, water it, mow it and PAY TAXES on it.
This myth of public right of way appears regularly, and some self entitled individuals are only too glad to believe, or pretend to believe it, for their own convenience. No one except the appropriate officials may access your property for work or maintenance.
