This is a fun and laid back group brought to you by Manchester Dog Owners Group for dog enthusiasts who like to hike, meet new people and want to socialize their dogs.

Each month we will lead a different hike in the Greater Manchester area. Even if you don't have a dog you are welcome to attend providing you like canine companions. Hikes usually last an hour to an hour and a half. Terrain is easy to moderate unless indicated.

Well behaved dogs are allowed to be off leash providing the property we're hiking on allows it. Most state parks require dogs to be on leash. Below is a shortended version of our state statute pertaining to dogs being off leash:

Liability

A dog's owner or keeper is liable for any damage caused by his dog to a person's body or property, unless the damage was sustained while the person was committing a trespass or other tort, or teasing, abusing, or tormenting the dog. The law presumes that anyone under the age of seven was not committing a trespass or teasing the dog unless the defendant can prove otherwise (CGS § 22-357). If damage has been caused by two or more dogs at the same time, their owners or keepers are jointly and severally liable for the entire damage (CGS § 22-356).
