Is it strange that I am not a dog owner, but I love the opportunity to observe the antics at our local off leash dog parks? Frankly, every time I visit an off leash area I am reminded of The Breakfast Club, the 1985 coming of age movie about High School cliques and stereotypes. Seriously, take a moment to sit and observe the action. You will notice the athlete, the spoiled rich kid, the brainy nerd, the introverted loner and the rebellious punk all joyously sniffing and romping gleefully while their humans mix and mingle. Like the movie, the dogs seem to come together, bare their souls and discover that they have more in common than first thought.
