Canine nuisance



E
ven as the argument over eliminating stray dogs has reached a crescendo following a court order, little thought is given to the problems created by domesticated dogs at public places.
 
     After carefully avoiding the strays lying all over the footpath, when you reach the park, there awaits another kind of nuisance.

     The pet dogs come for an outing with their owners to parks.  With scant regard for the rights of the fellow visitors, the owners let loose their dogs as soon as they enter the park. True to their nature, the canines run amok leaving the children and the adults petrified.

     Besides, the owners do not mind their dogs dirtying the park with their poops and urine.  A visit to the park has, no doubt, become a nightmarish experience nowadays. Not the dogs, but the owners, have to be tamed.
