‘Dog walkers, be more considerate to others’

With lockdown it is a joy to get out of the house for a walk nowadays.

That joy is quickly turned off when one walks along the Strand Beach walkway and dog poo lies in your way. You constantly have to look down to dodge the landmines and joggers distribute the poo for metres along the pathway.

I am glad if it rains, then it gets washed away. As the season is moving along, the rain will be less and the dog poo will be drying out. More people and dogs will be out and about, and it can get crowded, especially when you try to avoid the landmines.

It is so inconsiderate of dog walkers, even those with the fancy leashes, not to walk with a scoop and clean up the mess. Not everybody has a mudroom or stoep to put their soiled tekkies on before entering their homes.

Be considerate.
