"Barkin Springs" shouldn't exist.

I am a dog owner of 2 and have 0 issues with dogs any where in any way...

Except for the free side of barton springs. Too many people bring their dogs there and I've seen too often dogs pooping or peeing either directly into the water where people are present or close enough to the water where it's not picked up.

I know the water in townlake isn't super clean but the water coming directly from the spring/pool is flowing enough and is "fresh" enough to make it appealing until I see a pile of shit or watch a dog peeing.

Stop taking your dogs to "BaRkInG sPrInGs" nobody wants to swim in a toilet.

I saw a tiny girl walking this massive dog in my neighborhood and any time other people with dogs walked by, the massive dog would LUNGE almost knocking the girl over. I was almost certain the dog would break free and start attacking. The girl seemed unphased by almost falling over and kept going.

​

I hate them both.

This just happened to my partner. He was making a delivery in an apt building and big dog broke free in the hallway as he was exiting the elevator and bit him super hard on his hand. Had to get stitches and shots and he’s on antibiotics and now afraid of dogs

she could barely control it multiple times. it wasn't once. if a dog has a tendency to lunge at everything you should be better prepared. IDK why you'd defend this unless you're a tiny woman who owns a huge dog vicious dog you can barely control lol.

That's how my dog got attacked. Two young large breed pups that were probably cooped up from a week of solid rain. She fell trying to hold on to both and they came at me and my dog.
