MY husband and I regularly walk around West Kirby marine lake and watch the sun going down.

I would like to make a plea to dog-walkers to keep their dogs on a lead while walking around the lake.

I often come across dog poo and have to periodically look down instead of at the beautiful surroundings.

There were two ladies with two dogs off the lead and these were a good way behind their owners.

While the ladies were chatting one of the dogs relieved itself and even thought I noticed, the owner was completely unaware.

It made me think that this probably happens often and if the dog was on a lead, the owner is more likely when it goes to the toilet.
