I'm not trying to make people think an offlead dog is "safe." But, I DO get Your Dog magazine published in Great Britain. (excellent btw!) So I have an idea what it might be like to roam free in an open field. I also grew up on a farm, where there were acres and acres of open land to walk upon. And accross the ocean, there are areas in the country, without roads or automobiles, where people are encouraged to walk/hike.

Please do keep your dog safe. But next time you're in Barnes and Nobles, see if you might wish to grab the magazine off the rack and look at those beautiful, serene areas of fields, lakes, rivers and streams to walk by. No roads, no cars... no it doesn't mean free of danger, of course. There's always the risk of harm from an animal from the wild, a bog, or a hole in the ground. (But there's NO rabies, there.)
