The Huron Expositor, 1977-03-03, Page 2To the dogs
This- week our editorial- columns
have, gone to the dogs. That's right,
after weeks- of covering the dog
probieni in Seaforth, it was suggested"'
to us• that we run a gentle reminder
That dog owners, not dogs are atthe
root of the issue. What follows are the
suggestions for dog owners that one
staff reporter come up with.
There Is an old truism that dogs. are
• . man's best friends, They can, also be
art_ annoyance and a danger: The
growing Number of dogs running
lose - 4n Seaforth stetejs Mahe..$ it
clear that many dog owners are either
ignorant of their reSporisibilitieS,•
unconcerned about the problems their
animals can create.
Seaforth Council has recently
invited, representative's of• the
Humane Society to tell them ways/of
coping with' the stray dog-Problem.
Whatever steps they recommend will
;be secondary measures. The primary
responsibility for protecting the
property-and safety of the community
rests with, individual dog owners; .
A few simple steps taken by every
dog owner can ensure, that no °twin
the community suffers 'an-
inconvenience.
' cogs, like people, need exercise to
remain healthy. They can get that,
exercise at the end of. a leash just as
well as when they are free. Dogs have
no understanding of private-property,
• but their owners. tholikl. Keep your
deg on a leash and you can keep him
off other peoples' -lots.
Dogs can be trained to stay, on their
home property; This' takes time and

. danger of cars that is ever present
when. he roams . the -streets. • • .
Law courts have determined that a
-dog has. the right to bark occasionally.
He doesn!t' have the right . to annoy
—neighbours though,, ,and. he should
be stopped • by his owner. Humane
Society pamphletS suggest-a"number.

Though dog& can live outside, they
are better kept. as•holise pets,.A :dog. is
far less 'likely to bite if he is well cared

.around. him....
A dog is an extension of his owner.
..Hewill-act'as he-is-treated. It is up to
-a dog's'owner to -ensure that.his dog
is not vicious. • . . •
- You don't do your dog a favour by'
letting him ruil freely and. you may,
endanger the health of other People.

As a resident of Tuckersmith. I think it is
about lime a pat on the back and a lot of
cfddit should go to' all the men who put in
'so many hours te"open -and try to keep -
passable our township roads and streets.
It must have been pretty frustrating and
is discouraging'for them to say the least, as
they most certainly did theirbest. At least I
for one thinks so,
So do you not think a pat on the back and
