Default Who knows anything about the "no dog leash" permit from the Villages

My neighbor has asked me to post this. I know nothing about it.

It seems that there is a large group of people who take their dogs up to the recreation trail along Lopez Golf Course each afternoon and let them run without a leash. My neighbor said she was jogging along there and was chased by a couple of the dogs. She said she asked how they are allowed to let the dogs run loose and was told that it is a private club and that they were given "special permits' from the Villages to gather there each afternoon and let the dogs run. She said there were about six or eight carts with about 10 dogs running around.

I may be misinformed, but I thought the leash law was county wide. I didn't know that the Villages issued such permits. Seems kind of strange because chasing walkers and joggers in not the kind of "friendly" thing that is suppose to happen here. Can anybody shed any light on this?
