I AGREE with the person who wrote in regarding dog muck. I am a responsible dog owner. I carry bags around with me in my pockets and handbag so I can clean up after our Tilly whenever I need to. I am surprised that we have to dodge around muck on the pavements. It does not take a lot to carry some bags to clean up after your dog.

It is not just good manners but the health implications to children. Come on dog owners, do the right thing. It seems too easy — so long as it is not in their gardens they do not need to bother with it. Wrong.
