Dog Watch

2009-06-12T15:26:00.006-05:00

A number of us have had some encounters with dogs on our routes. I am going to try and compile a list of of address and dog descriptors (aggressive, etc). This may help us to avoid houses with owners that do not take the time to protect their animals.

If you have any house address/descriptors, pass them along, or add to this "Dog Map" using the Google maps tools (don't forget to save the map if you add to it.)
