Hi
Meredith has a "leash law". Your dog must be under control at all times when not on your property.
A few islanders still let their dogs run free. If the dog is calm and friendly then most people don't mind. Unfortunately some have aggressive dogs and think its OK for them to run free as well. There have been a few problems, complains and a dog was mauled. A few years ago two dogs killed a faun near the mail dock.
New Hampshire Fish and Game got involved because apparently dogs harassing deer is NOT allowed. We have lots of deer in a closed environment. Interestingly I found out that beagles are natural deer chasers.
These days the problem is mostly under control. I think part of the problem is owners that see their dogs through rose colored glasses.
