You would think any loving dog owner would have more sense than taking them
down to the beach. (On the other hand local dogs may be more tolerant of the sun)!
3.) Certain areas of our local beach are available for dogs to run around on 'out of
season' (as you might say!). The rest of the year 'to be kept on lead'.

A good owner will do what is right for the animal, as well as himself.
