CEJ #4 

Unleashed

    Over the past few years marine biologist have been constantly rescuing seal pups and other marine animals from harmful dog attacks on local beaches.  They believe that the main cause of these attacks is that owners think that there dogs will listen to them but reality is that they won’t.   After debating this conflict for several years they have come upon a solution that most dog owners won’t be too excited to here.  They think that the only reason to prevent these attacks is to have dogs on leashes at all times on all local beaches.  Although they are worried about how dog owners will react to this new law they believe it is the only way to stop dogs from attacking.

    For my family this is something that will affect my dad especially throughout the years to come.  All my life we have been taking my dog to the local beaches and watched him adapt to the cool ocean and become free as gallops along the shore. Practically all my childhood memories have taken place at the beach with my dog my dad and I. There has not been one incident for as long as we’ve lived here between our dog, and the wildlife.  We bought our dog from a local animal shelter, and he has been a great, well mannered mut from the beginning.  The beach is somewhere we come after our poor dog has been cooped up in a shady room all day can run free and peacefully on the beach, it’s not fair to put a leash on him after he has done no harm.
