Most dog runs list it in the rules that are posted by the entrance...no dogs without people, no people without dogs.

I'm sorry that you would like to own a dog and can't, but couldn't you just watch the dogs from outside the fence?

I see no reason for people without dogs to enter the dog run.

The dog run is supposed to be a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. Not all dogs are comfortable interacting with people they don't know and not all people know how to properly interact with a dog.

Plus, it's a little weird...I don't have children (and maybe I can't because of complicated health reasons), but I do love kids - should I be allowed to go hang out in playgrounds and play with other people's children? No way, it's just creepy...

I see what you mean (although, I still haven't seen that rule printed anywhere on the Internet or on the sign outside the doggie run.

But, I must tell you, dogowner, that I am extremely saddened . I am sad to realize that I live among people (maybe it's only here, in NYC), who are suspicious , unkind, hostile, and afraid of other humans.

...(And then they get surprised when their dogs behave that way... ) :(
