Director informed inquirer regarding the posted rules and policies at the Ferguson dog park.
Other: On the evening of Tuesday, May 24, I was at Ferguson Dog Park with my leashed dog, Duke, and my friend had her dog (also on a leash). As soon as we entered the park another dog immediately became aggressive and repeatedly attempted to bite my dog and my friend's dog. At one point this dog had one of our dogs on the ground, on top of it. The owner very casually and unconcerned strolled over and grabbed his dog and said, "Now don't do that." This dog continued to be aggressive to other dogs present, even biting and drawing blood on another dog. It was that altercation where other people had to separate the dogs because the owner just sat there and finally got up to get his aggressive dog. The owner did nothing to stop his dog from this atrocious behavior. This owner and his dog are a liability and god forbid a child or any human gets bitten by this dog. I do not have a name or license plate number because I did not feel i could safely obtain that information. I do have a picture of the man and woman and dog.
Director informed inquirer regarding the posted rules and policies at the Ferguson dog park.
Ferguson Dog Park Rules are posted at the site. The first three rules outline that the owners are responsible for their dog's behavior. Another rule states that the City of Bloomington does not supervise visitors at the park and individual owners are responsible for guarding against the risks posed by unleashed dogs.
