IT appears Mr Glynn Parry has nothing else better to do than complain about dogs and their owners.

He needs to know 99 per cent of owners do clean up but are dragged down by the irresponsible one per cent. I hope Mr Parry is not one of the many who discard their litter and drinks containers wherever he feels like doing as this is far more hazardous to both the environment and wild life.

He also needs to know human beings transmit many more diseases than dogs.

I hope he never needs the help of our canine friends either as a guide dog or assistance dog nor to be rescued by a search dog.

Dogs are an asset and owners take daily exercise walking them not just occasionally in fine weather.

Get a life and stop begrudging the companionship of dogs.
