One of the best things about being a dog-owner is taking an early morning walk with him in our local park. I watch Muggles, my golden retriever, bound around with joy – freely. Not being on a lead means he can roll around in the icy grass and chase squirrels. Even the sight of him makes strangers smile. But that might all be about to change.
Now, dog owners like me are being threatened with the prospect of “dog Asbos”, simply for taking our beloved pets off the lead in some of London’s largest parks.
