The cover of the book can mislead! There aren't many kids coming around the S St park anymore. Maybe it's the weather, or people are learning.

My dog, a rescue Lab, looks like the most gentle animal but she has severe leash aggression. We keep her on a nose harness, don't let her off leash, and are very, very cautious with her. Nonetheless, we regularly have parents who let their children run up to her and pet her--without asking our permission. We do everything we can to keep up our end of the bargain as a dog owner. We really need parents to keep their end up too. Thank you for posting this reminder about dogs and children.
