Letter: The doggie dos and don'ts of this Port Coquitlam park

A local resident is pleading to dog owners to show responsibility for their furry friends when out in a public area.

Please pick up after, leash and control your dog in Blakeburn Lagoons Park, asks one Port Coquitlam resident.

The Editor:

It remains baffling how irresponsible many dog owners can be whilst taking a stroll with their dog(s) around Blakeburn Lagoon.

Three issues come running at me.

First, pick up after your dog; whether spring, summer, fall or winter, pick up your dog's business and dispose of it into the trash bins.

Not near, next to, under it or onto it.

Second, leash your dog and have control over your pet.

Not all dogs are friendly nor enjoy having other dogs prancing and dancing about.

Lastly, if on a retractable leash, don't be 15 feet behind your dog. Again, it's a control issue.

Please people, just follow these three simple rules and the lagoon will be a cleaner and happier place to be.
