Otters are quite cute, but if I frequented this off leash dog park, I’d carry both bear mace and a telescoping baton. If they want to get fresh with me or my dog, they will die painfully and slowly.
Edit: also, I get that they might be protecting their young or whatever, but in this case, so am I.
- Maybe keep your dog under control. Bad owners are the problem, not their dogs.
  
  It's an off leash dog beach. It's literally a place a dog is allowed to dog. Nobody would expect their dog to go for a swim only to be drowned by otters.

  A 6 year old with the right tools could do the same. I’m not trying to seem badass, I’m simply calling people who go out there without these things weak individuals who don’t actually care about their dogs. You should take this stuff to an OL dog park regardless in case of an out of control dog.
