Ignorance or Entitlement? I would argue that it's common sense that dogs shouldn't be allowed to run off-leash anywhere, but much less in new baseball, football, and soccer fields but, as they say, there's nothing common about common sense.  An angry neighbor recently asked why I took this so personally to which I responded that my feelings are irrelevant... the only argument that matters is that IT IS THE LAW.   San Bernardino County Leash Law (Code: 32.0108 Control of Animals) requires all animals to be restrained whenever they are on public property or unenclosed private property.
