Letter To The Editor: Council Needs To Tackle Off-Leash Dog Issue And Enforcement Needs Teeth
By TJ TAUBIn college, I lived next door to some folks who had a very nice, sweet, goofy dog named Broccoli. They sneered at me when I quit letting my dog run free after she and Broccoli sauntered down an ally and across a busy street where my pup was nicked by a car. Broccoli continued to be able to run free – and ended up being dragged under a car for a mile. Still literally makes me sick to my stomach.
I share the frustration of not being able to take a relaxing walk with the dog in Los Alamos. Instead, I have to keep an eye out for unleashed dogs. While there are some responsible dog owners Read More

Letter To The Editor: It’s Time To Reclaim Our Streets, Parks And Trails!
By LYNN HANRAHAN
Los Alamos
Yesterday’s letter (link) in the Los Alamos Daily Post concerning dog attacks brought back memories. Almost 14 years ago when my youngest daughter was a newborn, I remember sitting through a Los Alamos Animal Control Task Force meeting with her on my lap while my fellow citizens screamed at each other. Dog owners insisted they had the right to allow their pets to run free as God intended while those advocating common sense restrictions on this “right” disagreed.
An exchange involving two ladies sitting behind me became practically
