Dogs at Pig Out

Sat., Sept. 12, 2015

Once again, my wife and I went to Pig Out in the Park for a nice afternoon and some good eats. Once again, we were subjected to people who can’t read, or don’t believe the rules apply to them.

Within five minutes, we noted two people with dogs in the food area. We were there probably three to four hours and saw numerous people with dogs there, big and small. The whole time we never saw any security or police to ask why.

There were signs at all entrances stating, “No animals except actual service animals.” I’m pretty sure those were not. If the city is not going to enforce the rules, then how many rules can we break without worry? Can I smoke there? Can I park for free, or jaywalk without worry?

Just asking.
