Amid howls of outrage from dog owners, the city has removed a recently installed sign from a downtown dog park that warned “excessive barking will not be tolerated.”
“We thought it was hilarious — we were just talking about and they took it down,” said dog owner Heather Brooks.
“They’re just having fun playing. It’s like putting up a sign at a kids’ playground saying no screaming or laughing,” Brooks said.Sam Lynch, another dog owner who lives in an adjacent building said, “Dogs do about five things and barking is one of them.” “It’s like ‘Don’t buy a unit that looks over train tracks and complain about the trains,’” Lynch said.But Shahista Lalani, walking her towering Doberman past the park, had sympathy for residents subjected to growls and howls that bounce between the buildings.In an email, city spokesperson Magdalena Stec said: “The sign at the off-leash area does not meet city standards and has been removed.
