As per the classic spaghetti western staring Clint Eastwood, you could classify all dog owners into the above categories.
Yesterday I met one of the bad & ugly ones.
We were just coming in from one of our daily walks, and were stopped at a pedestrian crossing waiting for the light to go in our favour. Across the road a “Gent” was walking his German Shepherd on an extendable lead. The German Shepherd had stopped at the other side of the road, right at the crossing and had a what can only be described as a projectile shite ! Let’s put it this way, if the dog was in the decorating business he would have been very proud of his achievement as he got great coverage, with minimum effort.
At this stage the light went in our favour and we crossed relatively close to where this disgusting mess lay resting on the pavement. When the dog had finally finished, the “Gent” just tugged the lead, and went to trot off with not a bother on him.
Being a responsible dog owner (Don’t mind saying so myself) I called after him, and asked was he going to clean up the mess his German Shepherd had created, at a pedestrian light, just in front of a four star hotel.
“No” came the response, to which I responded by calling him something along the lines of a filthy human being, to which he advised me to “Go F8ck off” – It’s a good job I’m not Clint Eastwood, as I would have just filled the fecker with bullets.
Only down the road there are signs on every other lamp post from the town council advising that dog litter is an offence, and carries an on the spot fine of Euro 125.00
Well if you were to take this warning literally, this German Shepherd hit quite a few spots, so his excuse of a dog owner would have been in for a hefty bill, if only there had been a dog warden present to catch him in the act, but as regular visitors to the pedigree dogs blog will know we have Blogged, many , many , many times about this before, and with the current economic crisis doubt very much if things will change in this area for a long long time.
Maybe I’ll get me a shot gun, and start smokin cigars !
