Dog Poo En Route To School

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!

You can report dog fouling directly to the department at Dorset Council online HERE.  A dog warden may then contact you and/or visit the area to assess how severe the problem is and take the appropriate action to deal with the problem.  However, local councillor David Leader has asked if you have any information on dog fouling to contact him on: 01308 868275 or 07867 608652.

Sheep On Lewesdon Hill Attacked By Dog

Local farmer, Jo Stover is appealing for information and reminding people to keep their dogs on a lead when walking through a field with livestock.
Her message earlier this afternoon: “I have a small group of my Portland ewes in a field along the Wessex Ridgeway on Lewesdon Hill. I checked them at 3 o’clock this afternoon. At 5 ‘o’clock I brought a ram up to the field to join them. I found two ewes had been ATTACKED by a dog. One was bitten on the neck, the other at the back end. All of the ewes were in a state of absolute terror. I believe this attack was from a local dog – the visitors have left because of lockdown. I am very upset and really angry at the disgusting behaviour of the dog owner. Keep your dogs on leads, you are a horrible person.
I know this attack happened between 3 and 5 this afternoon, 5th November. I would appreciate if anyone has further information. And if you are walking anywhere near my fields with your dog off a lead please expect an angry women to tell you to **** off my farm. Please remember a dog bothering sheep may be shot by the farmer.” –  Jo Stover.
