According to Expressen.se Web-tv dogs are not allowed to run free away from owners (mum and dad) anymore. They are only allowed to be next to the owner without a leash. I think this is good. Some dogs are scary when they come running. Expecially being out with a small kid is the most scary thing. I cannot trust free running dogs. I hope that many will get fines, since they have dangerous dogs running free in many green areas. I do not even want to go to green areas because of the risk of loose dogs. I do not trust other peoples animals. They are unknown to me and I know nothing about the owner. So I welcome the new law.
