I visit Boyce multiple times a week to go jogging or walking with my dog Champ.

No complaints about the park itself, very clean and taken care of. And I don't want to seem like an annoying person on here. BUT for dog owners, please try your very best to control your furry friends. In the past month I've had 2 incidents that were pretty scary.

1. I had a large dog who had a leash on but his owner let the leash go. Immediately he bolted for my buddy Champ and attempted to bite him several times. He nipped him once or twice and made Champ yip. If it wasn't for Champ being quick, I believe it could of been much worse. It took several attempts for the owner to restrain his dog after falling several times. I was going to grab the dog but it seemed extremely aggressive.

2. I was jogging and saw a group of guys and gals walking a German Shepherd. I attempted to run around them to put a good bit of distance between me and the dog without running into oncoming traffic. As I was coming around them, their dog jumped up on its back legs and latched onto my arm. Thankfully I was immediately able to break free and only had some light marks from the animals teeth. He must of been playing because he could of done some serious damage.

Please have control and awareness of your dogs. They will show you plenty of warning signs when preparing to act out. Be mindful that just because your dog is sweet and playful with you or would never hurt you, doesn't mean they are the same way with strangers or other dogs.
