So what!!!!
Not a big deal.
Holes can be filled in.

It is no big deal if "you" fill in the holes that your dog digs! I have twisted my ankle in one of those holes and so could others... So it is a big deal to me for health, safety & welfare!

You could step in jelly fish too... hazards are everywhere if you don't see them.

But dogs are not even supposed to be on the beach!
Humans could get hurt. Children play in the area and can get hurt

Let dog owners act responsibly.

It is natural to see ocean life along the beach, which posses a natural risk. It is not a natural occurrence to see a dog' s bad behavior of digging large holes along the beach, which puts the public at risk. The owner is responsible for the dog's behavior in public places and needs to control his dog at all times!

So what is wrong with a hole in the sand? Kids snd the ocran do it all the time. Just watch your step.

Thank you!!!! Please watch where you walk. Kids dig holes too and people leave trash and other hazards for all living beings. Smile at the happy dog enjoying a small but if freedom.

Dogs are not supposed to be on the beach according to Surfside ordinance and signs posted. People are more important than dogs. People and specially kids can hurt themselves with the holes in the sand. It is the dog owners responsibility to clean up and put everything back the way it was. This anything goes attitude is what has this country and the new generation messed up. There are rules in life. Marine life and other thing are poor excuses. The beach gets cleaned up! Just because someone does something irresponsible doesnt give you the right to do it. ACT RESPONSIBLE, WE ALL HAVE BEACH RIGHTS AND THE BEACH MUST BE KEPT USABLE AND CLEAN FOR ALL!

Oh, that is news.

I agree with Oleade. We should have a section on the beach where dogs are allowed.

Thank you Gary.

If these violations are observed by the public it is best to immediately contact the Surfside Police Department non-emergency number at 305-861-4862, so an officer may be dispatched at the time of occurrence.
Surfside Police Department Officers have initiated on-going checks of the Beach and surrounding area on each patrol shift for all Ordinances and violations of Law.
Persons found to be in violation of animal Ordinances on the Beach are informed of the Ordinance, warned that future violations will result in a Citation, and instructed to cease the activities they are engaged in and remove their animal from the beach. If repeat violations occur the violator may be cited for the violations observed by officers. However, if the animal is determined to be a Service Animal then the owner is permitted to have the animal on the beach.

Thank you for your concern for the safety of persons in Surfside.

Service animals are well behaved. Its the fake service animals whose owners buy registrations on the internet that are the problem. But now Florida finally has a law to punish those fraudently obtaing service animal id's.

As the Police Lieutenant said when you see the "violation" call the non-emergency police number and they will dispatch someone. I have seen an officer on the beach before talking with someone.

One cannot know someone's circumstance by appearances. One can only make assumptions.
Take appropriate and useful steps to create a change.

According to the law... "Service dogs must observe "good behavior " and be accompanied by the owner in need of the support "... The owner is RESPONSIBLE for the good behavior of the dog. The dog must not pose a "Health, Safety, and Welfare" concern to the Public who are enjoying the public beach. I attached a video since the police cannot respond in time to observe the incident. And the police never want to address the problems described because they are afraid of ADA... This owner abuses the right to have an emotional service dog, and continually puts the public in danger because he wants his dog "to be happy" digging holes at the expense of the "Health, Safety, and Welfare" of the humans on the public beach.

Agree
