@PhoenixSerenity dogs are banned from the entire Leslie Spit here (peninsula park with important bird nesting areas), I cannot imagine the havoc if they were permitted. People are absolutely terrible about leashing their damn dogs.The dog we had when I was a kid would run off never to be seen again if she was off the leash for a single second, but 1) we were still able to have plenty of adventure with her on a 6' leash, and 2) other people's unleashed dogs were a terror to me.(We took her camping in a provincial park, and she was on a very long lead attached to a stake in the ground. At her first sight of a white-tailed deer she ripped the stake out of the ground and took off obeying her wild wolf instincts. Had to switch to the most heavy-duty stake and a heavy metal chain. She had the neck of a sled dog.)
