Dog beach appreciated

Dear Editor:

As a dog owner, I just want to thank the town of Summerland for giving us a place like the Peach Orchard Dog Beach where dogs can run free, play together and swim.

Lately I have seen too many complaints about chain link fencing not being on the south side of the beach.

It is a dog beach and most dogs that swim there could swim past any fence that would be put up.

I would also note that most dog owners watch their dogs while they play there and have control over them if they do happen to stray from the area.

We are very fortunate in Summerland to have such a great dog beach and also be able to use the park during the off season.

Let’s not have to resort to having more signage, let everyone be responsible for their pets.
