complaining about dogs on the beach, i do not take my dog on the beach. but, we live here. i am a dog owner. i live in Townbank. i feel if i want to take my child(dog) to the beach (bay) i can. no one tells you to keep your children off the townbank beach. dogs love the Beach just like your child. stop trying to run own town. our dogs go to our bay/Beach all year round. stay home if you do not like it.. as long as the owners are picking up after their dogs mind your own business. Do you pick up after your kids?
