We have to compliment Jean Stephenson for her letter regarding dogs bringing their owners to the Malibu Art Festival. When people have two or three dogs on one leash, it can be very dangerous because you can be trapped between the dogs. Our experience was not as serious as the dog going berserk at the food serving area. However, our daughter was visiting us with her two-year-old twin boys and we all went to the festival and were enjoying the day when all of a sudden, a medium size dog jumped up and started to lick the face of one the boys as he fell backwards.
As he started to cry, the lady with the dog thought it was so cute and proceeded to bring the dog back to the boy who was still crying when our daughter told her to please take her dog away. We then left the festival wondering if the chamber should have a dog and pony show next year instead of an art festival.
