Property owners beware!

Especially those in the downtown core.  Dog walkers are a common sight in some parts of Chapleau.  The first thing I look for when I see dog walkers (or anyone walking their dog, for that matter) is a plastic bag in hand for picking up the dog's excrement.  Not only is this the polite and neighbourly thing to do, it's also the law.  I regularly see dog walkers all over Chapleau.  To my shock, I saw a woman letting her dog take a big dump on the lawn of Trinity United Church!  As if this was not bad enough, she continued on her way as if nothing had happened.  No bag, no picking up.  Next time, I'll make sure to bring my camera with me on my walk.  You never know what you'll see!
