In a day and age when we can build a hotel in space and travel from one side of the world to the other in a day, it beggars belief that dog owners are unable to stop their pets from excreting on pavements.
I cannot be the only person who is sick to death of negotiating my footsteps in a way Wayne Sleep would be proud of, just to reach my car or the shop door.
After walking my daughter to play-school and encountering a wide scattering of dogs' poo, which the most nimble-footed person would have trouble avoiding, I had to drop her off shoeless while one of her teachers scrubbed away at the offending mess on her footwear.
Come on dog owners, if you can't clear up after your pets or at least make them go in the gutter you shouldn't be allowed to keep them.
It is you, after all, who are foul, disgusting and devoid of any toilet-training not your four-legged friends.
You are the ones who are leaving the excrement on pavements and grass where people walk and children play.
Please have some decency and clear it up!
