What? With all that is going on in the world this is priority news?
Now, I loved the dogs I owned, part of the appeal was going out and about in appropriate places to let the dog have a good roam.
Surely the rules that need tightening are dog ownership, after all if you haven't the time or inclination to take your dog out then maybe you should consider not being a dog owner?
Of course there are exceptions, some people become ill and unable to walk their dog and become reliant on others to do this task for them (perhaps if you do call it a task instead of a pleasure then you shouldn't have a dog).
Yes, if you really need a dog walker then your pooch should be handed to a caring responsible person but, in the first place the owner should live up to their own responsibilities and really care for the hound themselves.
