“Dear PoPville,

I was walking my dog tonight (Wednesday, October 29) in Glover Park around 6:00pm. We walked through the clearing in Whitehaven Parkway (between T and W Streets NW), where there are frequently many people letting their dogs play off leash.

However, today, just as we were getting close to exiting the clearing towards W St, a woman was entering with her dog whom she immediately let off leash. This dog immediately ran up to my dog and started aggressively barking at him and chasing him.
