For the love of god, do NOT leave your off-leash dog unattended in a public park. Dog poop is nasty, and imagine the dangerous situations for your dog or others, etc. What the hell is wrong with people?

I saw an unleashed dog get hit by an MBTA bus right in front of me on Concord Ave. There's a group of people who let their dogs run off-leash in a small grassy area just to the side of the road, and of course the dogs were chasing each other and darted into the road. I still get angry just thinking about it.

And it's not like Fresh Pond isn't right down the street if you really want off leash time for your dog.

Exactly Cambridge residents are so fortunate to have fresh pond, why not use it?!

Yeah I’m not sure how I feel about the “Karen” who called animal control bc this really is how dogs get hurt or killed.

Agreed. I wouldn't call her a Karen, though. (I see your quotation marks.) I think a Karen is an entitled person who feels the rules don't apply to them. Wasn't the original Karen the woman with an off-leash dog in Central Park, NYC, who called the police on the guy who asked her to leash her dog?

i think people are calling her a karen because she followed the other woman and continued harassing her, but she was right to call AC
