Darien Dog Owners Want To Keep Off-Leash Time Darien Dog Owners Want To Keep Off-Leash Time Darien Dog Owners Want To Keep Off-Leash Time
Darien Dog Owners Want To Keep Off-Leash Time There's a time and a place for dogs to be kept on a leash, Karen Gaccione says. But Gaccione doesn't see why she shouldn't be allowed to bring her dog Dover to Cherry Lawn Park when nobody is there. However, restrictions will be put in place if a new version of the proposed dog leash law is passed. "I bring him here when there's nobody here, and he's fine," she said.

Dog owners should have access like people with children do." The proposed law…
