This is true, it's not just tourists, we have more than our fair share of selfish, inconsiderate dog owners here already, we don't need to be importing any more of them.

Many folks do not even comprehend the mortal dangers of letting their dog loose in the woods, especially during hunting season, let alone the fact that some folks carry pepper spray for just such an occasion.

Vermont is not a dog park, have some respect for the people and places that you visit folks, even if it is near your home and you think that you can "get away" with it.
