On 3 out of 4 mornings this past week, a school Mum from Trusthams, Broadwindsor repeatedly observed dogs’ mess in three different places along the path leading from Trusthams all the way down to the village shop.
Unfortunately, on Thursday morning her 4 year old stepped in some that was hidden amongst the leaves whilst on their way to school. All the children that walk to school are vulnerable to step in it, particularly at this time of year, as it is often masked by leaves. It is likely that many children have walked into school this week with mess on their shoes.
The woman believes that it is the same local person as it’s on the same route It is an offence to not to pick up dog mess as well as it being exceptionally selfish and anti social behaviour.
Another village resident on the same route has had dog poo bags dropped into his council recycling bin on more than one occasion!
PLEASE, PLEASE – BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER!
