Responsible Dog Owners

My wife and myself would like to think that we are responsible dog owners. We regularly walk our dog, round the streets of South Yorkshire and we pick up and dispose of our dog’s business safely.

But unfortunately we observe that other dog owners refuse to pick up their dogs excrement.

This is not good, responsible dog owners do not allow their dogs to crap on pavements and footpaths. At best it is a nuisance for people to walk on dog muck, but it is also a potential health hazard for children to get themselves fouled up, and they are very vunerable to certain dog borne diseases.

Unfortunately I estimate that less than 10% of dog owners clean up after their dogs.

I do wish that dog owners realized the health and nuisance issues involved.

Councils are now providing dedicated dog bins, so please dog owners, clean up and use them.
