Hi John My dog Moose, died instantly when she fell from the cliffs on the other side of the beach to Inna, just three months ago. According to people who saw her falling from the beach, the cliff subsided, so she could not regain her footing and fell. We run and walk there all the time without her ever going close to the edge, but dogs do dash off after smells, birds etc so I am not blaming anyone. However, most of the edge is fenced and this part has reasonably dense brush so you do not realise that the fencing has ended. Until this happened to Moose, there were no signs warning that there was no fence in this section of the park. My fear is that a child kicks or drops a ball and races off to chase it and the same thing could happen to them. I don't understand why all of the edge is not fenced in the same way because this is not an area that is more difficult to fence than others around these parks and walkways. My heart absolutely breaks for Inna's family and friends, because I know how I am still struggling with the horrific and unexpected nature of my darling dog's accident in the same area.
