ParticipantI have been going to the area for the past 20 years and have thankfully never been attacked. However, in the last few years, I have seen a large increase of unleashed dogs at that beach in the summer and dogs not being walked properly on the sidewalk going over the bridge, on what is an already too narrow sidewalk to allow for escape from a possible lunging dog. The risk is getting bigger every summer and I’m surprised the city hasn’t taken any action to shield itself from someone suing them.
I found a video on YouTube that shows Del Mar Dog Beach and the sidewalk in question at the 0:06 mark.

Participant[quote=ben_vo]I love dogs. However, I believe large gods should be kept leashed. I can totally understand people who get scared seeing a big dog out of leash and out of the owner’s control. Imagine a running toddler or worse a toddler hugging the dog… or kicking the dog (for whatever reason). Who knows what the dog’s reaction would be… What if it bites? You probably would say “sorry… the dog is so sweet… it was just that the kid misbehaved”. I do not think you can expect people to be supportive. If the dog is under control and always leashed, I do not see any problem and I guess after some time the neighbors would accept it.[/quote]
This is precisely why the leash laws need to be enforced at Del Mar Dog Beach and other beaches in the summer and the walkway across the lagoon should be dog free for public safety reasons because of it’s narrow width.

ParticipantI agree that the whole bridge/sidewalk/road should be re-engineered, but given the fiscal woes of the city of Del Mar, I don’t think that’s an option for a very long time. I think that the lifeguards should strictly enforce the leash laws at the beach in the summer and ticket those who fail to comply. This would help keep a bad incident from happening and would bring in extra revenue for the city. I think you all are fortunate to have not witnessed a dog on dog attack or a dog on human attack in an area with such a large concentration of dogs at one time. Just two weeks ago in the city I live in, an unleashed dog in violation of the city’s leash law mauled another dog (that was leashed) and caused it to have an over $11,000 vet bill. The owner of that same dog was cited 5 months ago for letting his unleashed dog attack another dog (which subsequently died from the attack). What if a dog like this were to attack a human for no reason? A helpful bystander trying to get the dog off the human might get bit himself/herself.
Why should a beach walker or pedestrian also be inconvenienced by an unleashed dog coming up to him/her in the summer and then trying to figure out what to do? When walking on the bridge, and a dog on a leash starts barking and makes furtive movements towards you, what are you supposed to do when there’s nowhere to escape and the owner does not have the courtesy in the first place to walk the dog to the right of him/her in order to minimize a possible incident in the first place. Thankfully, I have never seen an unleashed dog walking on the sidewalk over the bridge, but there have been incidents where I was walking northbound and had to jump up next to the railing and the owners tell me that their leashed dog doesn’t bite or that the dog won’t hurt me. How am I supposed to know that beforehand? It’s only a natural instinct to try and remove yourself from the situation. If a human, starts veering toward you in an aggressive manner on the bridge, wouldn’t you try to get out of the way? I do nothing to provoke the dog . I’m just minding my own business walking straight ahead wishing I could move way out of the way when I see any dog, regardless of size or breed to be safe.ParticipantI agree that the whole bridge/sidewalk/road should be re-engineered, but given the fiscal woes of the city of Del Mar, I don’t think that’s an option for a very long time.
