Then, there is the dog. In most places, having a dog off-leash is illegal. There are good reasons for such laws. Dogs scare people. They get into fights with one another.
Unleashed dogs are harder to clean up after.
In a perfect world, it seems to me, really well-behaved dogs should be allowed to do anything they like. Really wild, dangerous dogs should by all means be controlled. Which leaves dogs like Beau. Beau, is a funny, appealing dog in nine out of ten ways. He is curious and pleasant with adults, and patient and pleasant with children.
