Dogs Gone Wild at Nearby Preserve
Caught on video: Owners let dogs roam free at Massapequa Preserve.
Dogs barking aggressively. Dogs roaming in tandem. And all of them unleashed.
That's what one videographer caught again and again at the Massapequa Preserve, posting the clip to YouTube in the hope something could be done to curb the canine free-for-all. The Massapequa Preserve is located off Merrick Road just a half a mile from the Seaford border.
"No unleashed dogs are allowed in the Massapequa Preserve," YouTube poster savethepreserve17 wrote. "Good luck getting the authorities to do anything about it."
