The other case study occurred in 1998 in Avon?a wealthy suburb of Hartford, Connecticut,?when town officials unilaterally imposed a leash law at a popular off-leash park. Two of the cases took place in San Francisco, a city with a reputation as one of the most dog-friendly in the United States until 2001?2002, when officials curtailed off-leash walking. At its heart, the book details and evaluates the handling of three leash-law disputes, all of which were exceedingly divisive and emotionally intense. This book investigates what has changed in American community life, social mores, and the relationship between humans and dogs to provoke such passionate responses. In the last two decades,?leash-law disputes? have burst upon the political scene and have been debated with an intensity usually reserved for such hot-button issues as abortion and gun rights.
