Notes about Dog Parks

So Maggie got attacked yesterday at the Bull Creek dog park in north Austin. What really upset me is it was by a girls pitbull that she had said she only adopted 2 days ago! The Magster has a big teeth gash on her back that is open and bleeding. Man, did this upset me. So I went to the "pets" section of craigslist and this is what I posted...

"I understand that in a perfect world we would all have a dog that loves and trusts us and we could let run off a leash freely at a dog park, and he/she would run and play and bring much needed joy to our hearts. However, living in the cruel reality that we do, this is not always true. Please take more time to make an effort to evaluate whether it is a good idea to let your pet run off a leash or not. Example... If you have adopted you dog less than a week ago, my assumption is that the dog no more trusts you, than you do the dog. If that is the case, then you probably don't know the dog enough to know how he/she will act off the leash and how he/she will react around other dogs. Socialization is a process. It doesn't happen when you have only had the dog for 2 days. Please do other dog owners and dogs a favor, and leash your dog until you are fully aware of how your dog will react in given dog park situations. There is an unfortunate stigma placed on certain breeds that is unfair for the breed because they have owners who aren't responsible for their dogs. Please don't add to this stigma. Be a responsible dog owner, especially at dog parks. These parks are put in place for all of us to enjoy."

It's not all grammatically correct, however, it was in the heat of the moment...
Update on Maggie: She is ok. I put some peroxide on her open cuts so they wouldn't get infected. We went to a different dog park today and she was up to her chipper self wanting to play with every dog in sight.

P.S. I dare to think of how I would ever raise children seeing how protective I already am with a dog...haha.
