Why Does Hillsboro Hate Dogs?

Well a friend came out from Portland today to take Robin and I to Jackson Bottom Wetlands but as we get out of the car we see that dogs are not welcome there either. So we got back in the car and left.

I won't go back -- simply put, if Robin isn't welcome, then I'm not welcome. I cannot go for two walks a day, so if I'm going for a walk, then he's coming along too.

It is absolutely ridiculous that Hillsboro bans dogs in so many places. I'm sure the attitude is everyone lives in a big house with a huge back yard and therefore they already have a place to recreate with their canine companions, but what about those of us stuck in apartments?!?
