I WOULD point out to 'name and address supplied' that not all dog owners are irresponsible, leaving behind dog faeces.

But horse manure is dropped at random, no one cleans that up -- not even for the roses -- and I object to that being left on my roads so I have to walk around daily.

Dogs do have accidents, so cannot always be confined to their own premises.

Here in Blackrod, we had a doggie bin which was burned down by the kids who throw glass and rubbish around our community centre, so we walk around with plastic bags.

I am proud to give my name and address, because in our village try hard to keep it clean.
