The Editor,
Let me start by saying I am a dog owner and have been for many years. I clean up after my dog.
I am appalled at the number of people who do not clean up after their dogs, and I don’t understand why. It seems to have been especially worse during the snow season. Leaving dog poop lying around is unsanitary and disrespectful to our community, plus it is extremely unpleasant to be the one who step in it and take the remains home on your boots.
We know when we get a dog the expectation is that we clean up after them. I’d love to see some letters to the editor explaining why people don’t think they have to clean up after their dogs.
Be a responsible dog owner, show some respect for your community and others, please pick up the dog poop.
On a note to the city, a few more garbage cans along the dike for dog poop might encourage more reliable pickup.
