Annie-Mae emphasizes the importance of being aware of potential hazards in parks, particularly those that can be easily overlooked. She stresses that even seemingly harmless activities can pose risks to dogs. For instance, she points out that dogs can be injured by playing with sticks or toys that are not meant for them. These items can be sharp, break off, or become lodged in their mouths, leading to potential choking hazards or injuries.

The abundance of nuts and seeds in the fall can be a blessing for wildlife, but it can also pose a serious threat to humans. Acorns and chestnuts are particularly susceptible to this risk, as they are often consumed by humans and animals alike. Acorns, with their hard shells and small size, are easily swallowed and can cause choking hazards, especially for young children. Chestnuts, with their tough outer shell and large size, can also pose a choking hazard, but they are more likely to be swallowed whole, leading to digestive issues. The potential for toxicity is also a concern.
