Dear Grant,

I think it is time to remind Lake City dog owners that we do have a leash law in town. Dogs are to be leashed or under voice control.
Yes, I know we had a dog at large and he has found another home.
Twice in the past month I have encountered a small dog who was rather aggressive towards my guide dog Hamlet. This has happened on the 3rd Street side of the bank, and I can’t say if the same woman was the dog and its owner.
I asked that she take control of her dog but it was not on a leash nor was it under voice control.
In winter this is a real safety concern.
This is a valid law. It’s a public safety issue. I’m asking folks to take control of their dogs. An unleashed dog is a dead dog.
FYI, while I’m writing, it is best never to pay
Letters to the Editor…attention to a guide dog working in harness. If there is a potential problem, address the handler and not the dog.
This has never been an issue in Lake City until now, and I hope the leash law will be observed.

_{Sincerely,
Mary Nettleton and guide, Hamlet
Lake City}
