Tourist cities ban dogs

The claim that residents favour dogs on Pearl Beach from the results of a census needs more explanation.

I work from home and no person came to my door.

Since many homeowners are at work in Sydney during weekdays, I am interested how the census was done and what questions were asked.

I do not dislike dogs, having had two as pets in my earlier days, and know their value as companions.

I do dislike uncaring owners who do not clean up faeces deposited on beaches, parks and roadsides.

That is why most of the cities around the world visited by tourists have banned dogs entirely
