A stir at the Farmer's Market today as police had to ask a woman with a German Shepherd to leave as dogs are no longer allowed in places of public assembly.
A vendor told me the dog was interacting with children and the owner claimed she was training the animal to be a search and rescue dog. When asked to leave she refused. The matter was later defused after the woman met with the new Manager.
Let me be as plain as I can. The organizers of the Market don't want dogs. Most people don't want their small children exposed in such close quarters to strange dogs...and finally, the Market is a place to sell food and animals are not appropriate or allowed in restaurants or supermarkets. Also, people don't want to be part of anyone else's animal training regimen.
Please show respect for the ordinance. Most of you are.
