In response to Sam Birenbaum’s letter concerning bad dog owners–most communities including the smallest, Half Moon Bay (population 9,000) have designated areas for dogs, i.e., dog parks. The problems regarding dog poop on beaches and sidewalks could easily be resolved in Malibu if we had such a facility.
The alternative is to ban all dogs from the city. This, of course, is radical and heartless. I don’t think any of us would enjoy reading in Time magazine, “Affluent community bans dogs; refuses to support dog park.” Bah, humbug!
