To the Editor:

I’ve been intending to write a similar letter as Ms. Schwartz’s, titled “Huge Dog Problem” (9/8), for many years now regarding the presence of dogs on the beach, whether leashed or not.

In North Beach, dog owners bring their dogs on the beach before the lifeguards arrive and directly after they depart. Lately, dog owners bring their dogs up to the beach for the last “dump” of the night so that we can step around the nasty, fly-drawing deposit first thing the next morning.
