Investigates what has changed in American community life, social mores, and the relationship between humans and dogs to make the question of whether dogs should be allowed off the leash in public places a major political issue. It details and evaluates the handling of three leash-law disputes, all of which were exceedingly divisive and emotionally intense.

European and American approaches to public policy differ, with the European approach more likely to have a generous social safety net, tougher regulations on businesses, and stronger protections for animals. Via a comparative analysis of several policies, this book asks whether this conventional wisdom holds in the area of canine welfare.
