Like many Willmar residents, I am a dog owner. I walk my dog in the Garfield and Jefferson area. Twice in the last week, a large German Shepherd has gotten away from the young boy holding the leash and chased down my dog and me while we were on Kandiyohi Avenue near 11th and 13th Street. The young boy and young girl companion (also with a large dog) were able to catch up and pull the German Shepherd off my dog and me the first time this happened before there were any injuries.
