For Dogs on Leashes Muzzles Are Not Necessary

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
to meet and greet human and canine friends alike. On this day, however, Paula was met by a man wielding a muzzle in her direction, demanding to know why  her dog was not sporting such a protective devise. "Hes perfectly friendly," she responded, still surprised at his outburst. "Thats what everybody says," he retorted, "and before you  know it, a brawl has broken out." One of the other dog parents came over and informed Paula of a petition being passed around the area that would mandate  both leashes and muzzles in public dog parks. "Thats ridiculous," said Paula, who has always been a responsible pet person when it comes to bringing Pietro into public, well  aware of any potential problems that may arise. "Its true," said the other dog parent, who agreed that it has more to do with human responsibility than plying dogs  with unnecessary protective equipment. II. BROADBRUSHING ALL DOGS The need for a protective environment within a public setting is clear; however, the extent to which such protection is actually  necessary is where people need to discern between human responsibility and natural canine behavior. Typically, the people who clamor for muzzles on an already leashed dog are not dog  people themselves, and they believe that the only good dog is one who is virtually devoid of his or her instinctual abilities. A person of limited canine understanding thinks  that dogs will bite for no reason; muzzles must be used in order to curtail this expected occurrence. However, there is an even deeper, more insidious undercurrent to the  outcry for the combination of leashes and muzzles in public: to single out the so-called "dangerous" breeds: pit bulls, chows, rottweilers, Doberman pinschers, akitas, just to name a few.
