Where The Dogs In Buffalo Roam
Do more places in the city need to reexamine the existing policies? Will dogs be welcome to visit the Commercial Slip? What are other cities doing to enhance or limit what dogs can or cannot do? I talked to the owners of a restaurant the other day that mentioned that down the road they might have dog parties on their patio (on a Sunday when the business is normally closed). With the advent of dog bakeries, specialty dog shops, dog parties, dog biscuit stands and dog parks and beaches... is Buffalo going to the dogs? I'm personally for it, but then again, I am a dog person.

It Takes A Tune-Up To Tango
For years, visitors to Elmwood Avenue have been gazing upon a partially lit neon work of art at Bidwell Parkway above Sahara Grill.

Ugh, I would never go to any restaurant that became "dog friendly." Sorry, I prefer my food without flying animal hair and allergy attacks.

I too am a dog person; a consderate dog person. I don't feel that dogs should be welcomed everywhere and when they are welcomed, I feel strongly that the dog's owner must be aware of the surroundings and insure that the dog's behavior is acceptable. Too often, I've witnessed dog owners totally oblivious to the agressive behavior of their pet; ignoring cleaning up after their dog and that the dog is uncomfortable in crowds - not to mention the number of dog owners that feel that their pet is so well trained that it is permissable for them to be off leash even though there are leash laws. My dog is very much a part of my family and I regret not being able to bring him everywhere with me, however, just as I didn't bring my children to adult functions, I leave Max at home when I am going to 'No dogs allowed" areas.

How about special times for dogs. Before 9am and/or after 8pm.

Of course dogs should be allowed on the waterfront. It is totally sensless that there are all these No's down there. No dogs, No fishing, No skating, No cooking....Why would anyone want to visit when all you can do is buy overpriced food from the Hatch hoping a seagull doesn't crap on your shirt watching the dead fish float around the inner harbor. If it is outside and public then dogs should be allowed to go as well as people...on a leash of course. The dogs not the people :-) The restaurant idea is a little different but if a usiness wants to do it then all the better.

When in Germany I was amazed at the scope of places that people could bring their dogs. It was common to see them in malls and department stores. It was nice I liked that. Then again they ALL had the most well behaved dogs I ever saw. They barely would turn their head to sniff other animals or people. Just went about walking with their master.

People who bring dogs to festivals or parades should be given tickets and told to take their dogs home - NO EXCEPTIONS! People centered events that take place on the streets are not good places to bring dogs.

I like dogs but we do need to remember they are animals and should be treated that way. I do not want to eat next to a dog who licks it own butt all day long. Dogs should be allowed in out door place but they are animals and should stay on the leash. I would hate to go down to the marina and see dog S*** all over the place. I have noticed that delaware park has many dogs off the leash and I personally don't like it.

Does anyone know of a beach in Buffalo to take your dog to. I know the state and county parks allow dogs on the property but when I went to Evangola state beach yesterday I was harassed by the on duty life guard who told me to remove my dog as she was a public health hazard and it is against NY State Law to have a dog on a beach. I know this is not entirely true as I went home and looked it up and there were other dog owners at Wendt beach when I went there.
