Dogs (and cat) days of summer, part two
Here are the other photos that accompanied the Monday article in the Extra section:
Henry, a 5-year-old, 207-pound English mastiff, rests under an umbrella. He visited Avon Beach in the Outer Banks in May with his pet parent, Kathy Myrman of Old Southwest Roanoke.
Linus, a miniature schnauzer, visited the beach for the first time in May. "He was mesmerized by all the people around and the huge body of water, which I am pretty sure he thought was a huge bathtub, so he refused to go in," said his pet mom, Nicole Bruch of Southwest Roanoke.

Aww…I want to give Henry a hug! I’m a sucker for the big dogs
Cute pics of the dogs relaxing at the beach. Dogs enjoy a day at the beach too! It’s always a good idea to check first with that city’s beach rules for dogs just to be sure that everyone has an enjoyable experience.
Since Henry weighs more than 200 pounds, I doubt Kathy could sneak him onto the beach. However, you are correct that you should make sure a beach is dog-friendly before you visit.
