Walking the Dog On the Beach

You can't walk dogs on the beach anymore, at least not in southern California, and that's where this photo was purchased.  The L.A. area dog population has grown along with the human one.  People may want to walk their dogs by the ocean, but beach goers don't want to step on the waste.  Take a quick look at the background.  Their is a gap in the pier.  There must have been a storm.
