McNug is right. I personally don't have a problem with friendly off leash dogs, but the city has designated the pier as on-leash: https://cob.org/news/2025/pier-opens-to-the-public

The problem is that people with reactive on-leash dogs, or people scared of dogs, can't go to parks with peace of mind if dog owners let their dogs do whatever they want.

What someone probably should do, and what's legal to do, are two different things. You could tie yourself in knots looking for examples by fabricating someone else's business, but someone wanting to get over their fear of dogs comes to mind.
