Today I went to Peoples Center Pool , to share my extremely important issue . The receptionist was very friendly and helpful as I explained my concern over Narcotics Anonymous meeting where I have been going to meetings for the last 3 years . There is a dog running wild in that meeting scaring some children and parents ,others love the dog , rolling around on the floor and having fun , By the time men and women have arrived at a NA meeting they are at the end of their ropes ,For many NA is the last house on the block , the last glimmer of hope of ever recovering from their addiction . Over the last few years I have seen young women with their children leave the meeting in exasperation trying to control their children interactions with the dog ,dog is running around being a real distraction from the meeting , people with allergies to dogs have left the meeting because dog is totally uncontrolled and not on a leash , just last Saturday a young man and his friend left in the middle of the meeting having a .allergy attack .I have brought up the issue with leader of the group (dog owner) Reply , Non of my business , I don't care . I have 34 years clean time in NA (Old timer) New comers to the meeting sometimes share their woes and issues with me in private as they don't want to "rock" the boat. There is very strict regulations for a service dog No 1 dog has to be on a leash at all times and under complete and full control by the owner a all times . Receptionist promised me she would pass my concern along to the director of this fine community recreational center , My thanks to the wonderful receptionist again
