Dumb.

Nah, I take my dog to Washington all the time and there's plenty of dogs like that, it's fine. There's occasionally some shitty dog owners, you probably came at the wrong time. There's an old guy with a toy aggressive tiny dog that insists on bringing him there and then scolding your dog for trying to play with his little shithead, he's probably the only regular asshole. I haven't seen the guy who asked me to leash my dog so his dog who "doesn't really like other dogs" could play (at a fucking dog park) in a while.

Sounds like your dog likes to play with other dogs. That's great!

It also sounds like you probably don't have fido under voice or hand control and you let it run roughshod all over a gigantic field trying to play with dogs that just might not be all that social or appreciate rough play. That's not so great.

So I guess by Portland human standards, "rambunctious adolescent with some training to be finished" means your dog's about... 45 years old (in dog years)

Did I miss the part where Washington is a designated off-leash area?

"Don't worry, my dog is friendly."

What makes you think that I am?
