LAZY: Dog walkers at English Point

| September 6, 2019 1:00 AM

I thought I’d seen it all with lazy dog owners who think it’s somebody else’s job to clean up after their pets. Now I’ve seen the highpoint of pet irresponsibility and lack of awareness for others.

All spring and summer of 2019, our National Forest of the Idaho Panhandle has been clearing brush and preparing for a controlled burn to protect us from fire.

Today, while walking the beautiful trail at English, I spotted numerous blue plastic bags thrown upon the burn piles. What? You take the time and effort to bag your dog’s waste, then leave it for someone else to deal with?

Jeez, I’ve seen it all…
