ARE dog owners amongst the most inconsiderate and selfish members of society?
When you consider the evidence, the answer is an overwhelming ‘yes’.
The pavements around Wharf Hill in Winchester are littered with dog mess; clearly owners are not clearing up after their pets have fouled the pavement.
A friend who works as a commons warden tells me that dog owners will scoop up the dog mess, place in a black plastic bag and then hang it from a tree branch!
Take care if you go jogging.
Dogs will bound over to you, jumping up with muddy paws while the owner simpers: “Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you”.
Suggesting the pet should be on a lead is often met with expletives.
Come on you dog owners, have some consideration for others and take responsibility for your pet.
BARRIE HAMMOND, Winchester.
