In an effort to clear up any confusion about it, here is the exact wording of
the City's leash law taken from the phila.gov website under "Philadelphia
Code and Charter". The one owner who told me that he'd read the law and it said a
dog only needed to be on a leash if it was not under control is wronf. There
is no exception uner the law.
