Which statements represent valid reasoning and which statements represent invalid reasoning?

A citizen makes a speech against building the dog run.

Which statements represent valid reasoning and which statements represent invalid reasoning?
Label Valid Reasoning or Invalid Reasoning
Giving dogs more opportunity to run and play would be a kindness to these friendly, loyal, sensitive animals.
As a child, the speaker was frightened by a dog barking angrily from behind a fence.
The dog run would benefit dog owners by marking their dogs happier and healthier.
Only 38 percent of the town's citizens own dogs, so the majority will not gain anything from a dog run.

Reasonable:

- Giving dogs more opportunity to run and play would be a kindness to these friendly, loyal, sensitive animals

- A recent poll found that the proposed dog run is supported by 75% of dog owners and 70% of those who don't own dogs

Unreasonable:

- My daughter gets scared when she hears dogs barking, so they should be kept behind a fence at a park

- Town leaders never listen to the concerns of dog owners because politicians tend to dislike animals
