Council respects rights of man’s best friend

Fergus Finlay’s report (Opinion, Feb 14) on “Why man’s best friend should be allowed a hassle-free run on beach” states “they don’t like dogs in Dún Laoghaire County Council and they don’t approve of dog owners”.

This is quite simply untrue.

In fact, dedicated council wardens are very often the ones that rescue stray dogs and bring them to the council pound. There is a happy outcome for 91% of dogs who are reunited with their owners or re-homed.
