A lot of people have more consideration for their dogs than they do other people....even their own children when they are small. I've seen homes where the dogs have more freedom and rights than the kids.
As much as we love our dog,
it's an animal, not a human citizen nor member of the community.
As for bringing them to the squares, I think it should be allowed (I like it) at all hours
except from 5-9pm when there are so many people present.
And I think there should be a local ordinance that says "no retractable leashes on sidewalks, streets, and squares". There are too many human feet/legs, vehicle wheels, etc. to get into trouble with the retractable leash, injuring people and the pet.
