Dog owners
We now have a lovely path along the railway line, beautifully landscaped and used by many people including families and children. This morning about 9am a couple and their large black labrador X were walking between Kamo Rd and Kensington Ave. The couple engrossed in conversation, the dog unrestrained and running freely. Unnoticed by the couple, the dog stopped, had a big poo in the bark, scratched the bark everywhere and went on it's way. Unfortunately my camera was not nearby so I can't include a pic. Come on Dog owners, get your act together and show some responsibility. There are many people walking their dogs along these paths and being responsible but always a few who are not. Shame on them.
