Dogs rule

Comment Up

  • The city commission can just say "no" to voters who vote in a heights charter amendment for our downtown.
  • It can say "no" to an entire neighborhood of about 2,000 people who objected to John Prince Park being bulldozed for a national Spring training stadium directly across from where they live.
  • It can say "no" to anyone objecting to a $63 million, 30 year general obligation bond.
  • It can say "no" to residents protecting the 50 beach decal spots and give them to screeching, complaining  non-residents and change the description of what they are to "seasonal residents."
but...
  • It can't say NO to Fido.
Public Hearing 10-B second reading tomorrow night: No person shall bring into or have on the municipal beach, any cat, dog, pet of any kind or other animal except a service animal trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. However, any cat, dog or other domesticated animal shall be allowed on the sidewalk and grassy area of the municipal beach area between the eastern curb of State Road A1A and western base of the dune for the entire length of the municipal beach and shall be on a leash. Said animals must be restrained at all times at a distance of not greater than six (6) feet in length from their handler.

Iam not at all opposed to dogs at the beach. But owners who do not clean up after them should be fined.

Many other municipalities have similar rules, dogs are allowed west of the beach, not on the beach. I see this more as coming in line with other municipalities and reacting to the festivals/businesses that are at the beach property that want to welcome dogs and their owners.

I have way more of a problem with the little dogs I see every time I go to Publix.

I'll name one! The little dog that snapped at my 6 month old in her travel seat. I was pushing her in the shopping cart and this little dog jumped at her and tried to bite he as we went by.
