Of course, I see many different types of dogs at the shelter every day. But rarely do I see so many dogs freely running, playing and sniffing together.Open spaces where such a great number of canines congregate off-leash are hard to find (I remind you that it is illegal for dogs to run off-leash in our service areas).

In a recent analysis of data from 37 American cities, the Council on Criminal Justice, a nonpartisan think tank, suggested a hopeful trend — the national pandemic-era spike in crime may have peaked.But there’s a glaring exception: auto thefts. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, “The number of vehicle thefts during the first half of 2023 was 33.5% higher, on average, than during the same period in 2022 — representing 23,974 more vehicle thefts in the cities that reported data.”Why are so many cars getting stolen?
