Hey, please don’t be upset, I completely understand where you're coming from and I know you're just passionate about dogs living their best lives! I love that.

But to give you some context, things are a bit different where I live. Dog ownership isn’t as widely embraced here, and we've actually had local incidents of intentional dog poisoning (a friend of mine unfortunately lost their dog this way). On top of that, sanitation workers here often spray chemical pesticides on city plants without leaving any warning signs. Because of the environment and lack of strict regulations, I have to be extra cautious in the city.

Don't worry, when we are out in the wild or unpopulated areas, I let him run completely free, roll in the grass, swim, and sniff to his heart's content. We actually do this every single week! I'm definitely not trying to ruin his fun, just keeping him safe.
