I support the new policy 100%. It is true that a few ruin it for the many. Look at it from the other side. Dog owners that tie their dogs up at the site and head to the beach only to have the dog bark all afternoon at every new noise or stranger walking past. Dog owners that don't pick up the do do and some one on their way to the beach steps in it. Dog owners that think everyone loves dogs and allow their dog to swim at the beach with little kids, some of which are scared stiff of a dog. Dog owners that tell strangers the dog is friendly and won't bite and it proceeds to jump on strangers.Now the biggie, who gets sued if the dog does bite someone???? (Everyone, including the State of NH)
That said, I think you have a case if the policy in place at the time of your reservations allowed pets.
ps. I own a black lab.
