Dog Lovers - Need Your Comments (residents & visitors)

I reside in Zihuatanejo 5 - 6 months each year and cannot imagine leaving my much loved, healthy and well behaved faithful canine companion behind. For the record, he was rescued by my Mexican neighbour and gifted to me, after being abandoned in Zihuatanejo to a life of sickness and survival on the filthy streets. He was subjected to the diseases that are endemic in the environment. He recovered fully and is now a healthy Canadian dog with "dual citizenship". For 8 years I have wintered in Zihua and been able to walk the beaches with my dog, following all regulations that are expected in the clean beachside communities I am familiar with in other parts of the world. I will always pick up after my dog, ensure he is not a problem for others and expect to be able to walk safely with my dog on a leash through the town. I would love to see more receptacles for garbage, more control of aggressive dogs. I hope that SPAZ is successful in educating the community in the true value of making Zihuatanejo a welcoming community for those of us who have invested and continue to support the city and it's people.
