DOG DISPUTE
Dog walkers near Frenchtown Park got into a heated exchange after an unleashed dog mounted a leashed dog on July 13, police said.

No charges were filed in the incident, which occurred at around 5 p.m. Officers were dispatched to the parking lot behind the East Greenwich Recreation Department building on Frenchtown Road for a report of an altercation.

A 51 East Greenwich man and his wife told police that they were walking their leashed dog when another dog swimming in the pond noticed it, swam to shore and began mounting their dog.

The man told police he pushed the free-roaming dog, whose owner, identified by police as a 56-year-old West Greenwich man, reportedly became upset by his dog being pushed.

The argument includes a shove, but nobody wanted to press charges and police cleared the scene.

Police noted the unleashed dog owner allegedly was argumentative and said he felt he didn’t need to leash his dog and had received many leash law violations in the past.
