Why off-leash dog parks aren't safe

CALIFORNIA -- This photo and warning to others was posted on Yelp:

"This dog attacked my dog Sun Sept 16. The dog drew blood, and the owner Kan Parthiban refuses to show any vet records rabies inc."



Reed Street Dog Park, 888 Reed Street (at Lafayette), Santa Clara, CA 
The Reed Street Dog Park is a 1.5 acre City park that is the only City park that allows dogs to run off-leash. All other City parks require owners to have their dogs on a six foot leash at all times.

Separate fenced areas are provided at the Reed Street Dog Park for large and small dogs (small dogs are a maximum of 18" in height at the shoulder) with each area providing grassy mounds, water, benches, trees, plastic bags, garbage cans and a shade structure. Parking areas and a portable restroom are included in the park amenities. Additional park rules and regulations are posted at the park.
