Hi Folks:

I became aware of BostonDog from a Google search following an article
I read today here: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2008/10/05/a_leash_on_dog_owners/#commentAnchor

I'm the Vice President of the New York Council of Dog Owners Groups
(NYCdog). We're a nonprofit umbrella organization that represents the
usergroups of the 50 enclosed dog parks and the 88 park Designated Off-
leash Areas in NYC. NYCdog has been around since 1999 and have waged
many legal, park, health, and political battles to increase off-leash
recreation in NYC.

For more information and some history of dog runs and DOLAs in NYC,
visit www.nycoffleash.com

Some of the information on that site might be helpful in your quest to
get more off-leash areas in Boston

NYCdog's website is at www.nycdog.org.

Feel free to drop me an email directly at mpa...@hillsidedogs.org.

Yikes!

There is a public hearing about "whether the city [Boston] needs to
toughen up penalties for violating leash and pooper-scooper
regulations, step up enforcement, and look at the possibility of
creating more dog-friendly areas so the pets and their owners have
somewhere to go" on Oct. 28 at 6 p.m. in the Ianella Chamber at City
Hall!

Good luck Boston dog owners!

Cheers,
Michele Biscoe (with Strummer - standard poodle)
Chairperson
Somerville Dog Owners Group
