Dog walkers’ responsibility on the hiking trail


By AGENCY

One tip for those not wanting to carry their dog’s poop bag with them during a walk or hike is to attach a fanny pack to the dog’s leash and store it there until you reach a trash bin. — TNS

Dear Joan: I am writing to ask for your help to bring an issue to the attention of the general public. The issue is the dog poopy bags left on hiking trails. I have not seen this issue being addressed anywhere. I posted on my neighbourhood bulletin board asking people not to leave the bags on the trail.

I’m happy that they cleaned up after their dog, but then they leave the bag on the side of the trail.
