re: Long planned, contentious dog park opens in Shreveport. Dog immediately killed.

Main reason we used to go to a dog park was when we lived in an apt....our lab loves to play fetch so the park allowed him to run and do that. My pug was more interested in having other people pet him than other dogs. But if there was a really big dog there(he especially loves Great Danes and mastiffs).....he wanted to run up to them and play with him. So I had to keep an eye on him.

Sometimes a bunch of big dogs would crowd around him just wanting to play....but that would overwhelm him and he would get a little too defensive....that's when I would always pick him up and move to another area of the park.
