Scoopy Do Brigade
The dog shitting and messing the park your children play in could belong to your
friend or your neighbour. So, it can be very difficult to tell them that
they have been irresponsible for letting their dogs leave their waste product in
public places. This is especially so, if you are not a dog owner
yourself. It would be like a race telling another that they have got their
customs all wrong; a Taboo!!
However, you just cannot let things be and have your children
growing up either hating dog owners because they have had bad experiences at the
park or becoming irresponsible dog owners of the future themselves because this
is the lifestyle they have adapted to.
So, let us begin this endeavour by thinking of it this way.
On nights when you hear your neighbour's dog barking, instead of being annoyed
that it has woken you up, be thankful that your home has not been broken into as
the dog's barking has frightened the would be thief away.
Now that we have the right mind set, let us start a Scoopy Do Brigade and have Scoopy Do
Days.
