To the editor:

Please urge Town Meeting members to NOT shut down or curtail the business of Crate Escape. My dog has been going to Crate Escape for almost eight years. It allows me to have a busy personal and professional life that would otherwise be impossible. The people who work at Crate Escape are terrific; they know my dog, they care about her, they groom her, they help me buy the right kind of food for her.

In short, they help make me a more responsible and knowledgeable dog owner. The place is very clean, orderly and well-run. It is located in a part of town that I believe is not residential and therefore, the presence of dogs should not be a nuisance for anybody. The owners of Crate Escape are lovely, responsible people.

Please don’t take this wonderful service away.
