Jerry,
You are right,there is a leash law. I completely forgot. One of our neighbors had a puppy running loose, not just once, but every single day. When I would walk my dog, she would follow us all the way home, 2 blocks away. It was a pest, but very sweet dog. Well the people that lived across the street from them called the police(not animal control)and had the owners cited. The guy that called the police was mad because the dog pooped in his front yard. When I heard the story from another neighbor, I laughed, I thought it was silly, though it was a good thing, as the people gave the dog to some friends who could take better care of it.
Aloha au i Hawai`i,

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that we do have a leash law in Hawaii County. I was told by a neighbor that someone on our road was fined for repeated violations before Bear and I moved here. The dogs in question did not harm anyone, but were supposedly quite annoying. The Humane Society handles these cases initially, but will resort to legal action when friendly intervention doesn't work. Unfortunately, all it takes is five seconds for an unrestrained, untrained dog to ruin somebody's day . . . or worse.
