OK, we may have had this discussion before...can't recall, but we need some discussion in this room.
Several years back, Backpacker magazine ran an article that discussed the pros and cons to hiking with dogs and if it should be allowed. The arguments broke down pretty much 50/50...with many folks saying that dogs create waste, scare wildlife, and can be a problem on the trails around other people, and others saying that dogs are great for helping people, for company, and in some cases for hauling supplies!
So what do YOU think? Should dogs be allowed on hiking trails? Should some trails be dog free? And do you hike with a dog and why?
