Beaches for Dogs

Woody the Schnoodle and his Schnoodle Mummy have just come back from a walk on the beach.

Sadly in the UK dogs are banned from many beaches and the ones that don’t ban dogs can be few and far between.

Woody and I are fortunate that we live a stones throw from a beautiful beach and a daily walk to play with the stones is a daily occurance for us.

Don’t get me wrong I do understand that some irresponsible dog owners have made it necessary to ban dogs from family beaches.  This summer in our area proved a very strong case in favour of banning dogs from certain beaches.  A 7 year old child was very badly bitten and held under the water by an agressive, uncontrolled and unleashed Rottwieler.  If it had not been for the quick thinking of the child’s Grandmother the boy could have died as a result of the attack.  The little lad has undergone numerous operations to repair the damage inflicted by the dog.  To date the owner of the dog has not be caught.  See the post we wrote in August about this specific attack http://iloveschnoodles.com/blue-cross-charity-urges-review-of-dangerous-dogs-act
