At the Foster City Dog Park dogs who are 25½ pounds are out of luck. They are neither "small" (25 pounds or less) nor "large" (26 pounds and over), so they have nowhere to go.
I blame the signmaker, who may have thought that weight was only measured in whole numbers. He probably has never been on a diet.
On the other hand, there were no visible weight-patrol officers in the Dog Park, or even a scale to verify entrance requirements.
Measurements like weight are not objective but a man-made construct. If a small dog identifies as large, he's entitled to his truth.
Don't be species-ist.
