I hate to break it to you but Vermont’s a dog friendly place. You’re gonna have a hard time getting away from dogs here. It’s actually becoming way less dog friendly as the years go by, when I was growing up everyone walked their dogs off leash everywhere unless the dog was agressive. Now there’s uptight flatlanders calling the cops all over the place, it’s nuts.

back in the day people bought a dog that was the breed they wanted or got a mutt through someone they knew. Now you got rescues adopting out mainly reactive dogs and telling people that breed doesn't matter. Then there are those rescuing more dogs than they can responsibly take care of but think they are doing a great job.

Back in the day if your dog misbehaved, it was far more likely to be shot.

Then you got those people that if they see a dog walking around, they have to catch it and find it's owner.

It's a new world out there.
