Senior provides lesson in etiquette

On Monday afternoon of the May long weekend in the cold and rain, I witnessed a most touching scene. An elderly man with a white cane and an even more elderly dog were walking along the boulevard on Ellerslie Road and 111th Street.

The man got down on his hands and knees to pick up after his dog then proceeded home.

I could have offered to make his walk easier that day by offering to walk with him, but I didn’t.

Shame on me. And shame on the young and healthy dog owners who don’t pick up after their dogs.

It was a truly Norman Rockwell picture as they slowly made their way home. Maxine Paton, Ma-Me-O-Beach
