Your pooch may soon find state parks a friendlier place to be, if legislation currently in the state Senate is passed. The bill's author says leash-free areas will keep California pooches happy.
Dogs are much more accommodating when they have the opportunity to go off leash and run.
The state park ranger's association opposes the idea, saying off-leash recreation areas will increase the risk of dogs biting other visitors. The full Senate will likely vote on the bill within the next few days.
