This week we are learning about how to tell the difference between fact and opinion. Right now in Walton county there is a hot debate over permitting residents and/or visitors to bring dogs to the beach. Many people have strong oninions but often forget to back it up with fact. Tell what YOUR opinion is on this issue. Include at least one FACT to back up this opinion. Your response should be 3-5 complete sentences.
I think dogs should be on the beach if they follow the rules. If the dogs go to the bathroom on the beach, then the guardian must pick it up. I understand parents not wanting babies to pick up the dog poop, especially when they are making sand castles or walking. Even adults walking, may step in the poop if it isn't picked up. Every dog owner should have a bag on the beach if they plan on bringing their dogs. Dogs should be on the beach, if they al follow the rules. Or if that owner can't they should go to the dog park.

I think dogs should be on the beach. Dogs will defintely poop on the beach, but products, services, and responsiblity can keep our beaches clean. Products and services could also keep litter off the beach. I think dogs are good animals and deserve to be on the beach as long the owners are responsible. Dogs should be on the beach and there should be signs, products, and services about keeping our beaches clean ( of doggy doo).

I think dogs should be on the beach because it makes it more playful and fun. I think there should be a beach worker at every entrance to look for people with dogs that go on the beach. He/she could ask them how long they will be here and depending on there time they could give them a big, medium, or small bucket. On the side of the bucket would be a handlebar holding a scooper. Then the worker would remind them to pick up their dogs poo and pee. After those people are done being at the beach, they would give the bucket full of poo and pee to the worker and the worker would put it in a huge trash can.

I think that there should be dogs on the beach because it's a good time to get to know your dog and get exercise! Exercise gets you and your dog healthy and fit. We could allow dogs on the beach if we had a clean up station for your dog that allows them to go to the bathroom. We should have this area every half mile you walk on the beach with your dogs. Who will clean up the dog's presents? We will hire people to work there to clean up after them. So now you can exercise with your dog and have fun while leaving all the stress behind because now you know someone will clean your dog's presents up at a station!

I think that bonding with your dog is very important because you get to play with your dog. When playing with your dog, you can get exercise from racing your dog, fetching which involves arm exercising and running, or taking a nice walk with your dog and take your time to enjoy the moments. Did you know that some of your best memories are going to be with your dog? People mostly go to the beach with their dogs and get pictures of them playing together. That means when you're older, you'll look back at all the great times you and your dog had.

I think dogs should be on the beach so the dog can have exercise and people can have a better time. Dogs may pee and poo, but I have come up with a solution! At the entrance of the beach an officer will give you a bag, gloves, a gas mask, and a ... POOPER scooper! Then the tourists and locals can have more fun with their dog. When the people exit the beach they can throw the doggy doo away.

I think dogs should be able too go on one side of the beach.You can divide the beach down the middle.Dogs on one side humens on the other.When dogs git rid of yucky things like pee and poop it will be on one side of the beach.That would mean our beach is pet friendly so more people will come to our beach.

Don't get me started but I think dogs should be allowed on the beach. If people take more care of the dogs droppings . If people dont pick op their dogs droppings they should get a fine! Their also should be trashcans every half mile.

I think dogs should be let on the beach. Although, they do leave stuff behind. If the owners don't pick up the poop they will be fined. But I just think they shouid be allowed on the beach. They need space to run and play with their owners.

I think that dogs should have a day care called lo and dippies that would be all cool with pools and stuff like that. It will have dog treats and toys for the dogs to play with. Also it will be free and no bad stuff in there. Thats why I think we should have day cares instead of turd all over the place.

I think dogs need to be on the beach they need space to be free and run arond . Like how Martin Luther King said everybody should be treated the same even dogs!!!!!! I still do think that if a dog does his 'bussiness' on the beach their owner should clean it up.

I think dogs SHOULD be aloud on the beach because they are responsable as we are.But the owner has to look after his dog and pick up after them.But kids do not need to dig in the sand because dogs might do there duties.please comment
