Towns are for people - not dogs

YESTERDAY in the paper William Lapthorn was talking about the loss of dog waste bins. This isn't the problem. The problem is the dogs and owners. Why is it when I go into town and to car boot sales I have to share it with a pack of dogs. Dogs are for parks. I don't want to see dogs in towns apart from Guide Dogs. Can't owners be away from their dogs for more than a couple of hours? If you can't, then try internet shopping, that way you can spend more time with your hounds.

Things need to change in Plymouth. You try sitting down eating food with a large lump of wet smelly fur trying to get at what you're eating. It's not that I hate dogs, but there's a time and place for them. Let's see towns for people not canines.

    “I love dogs,and for that reason i think Rhys has a point.I see a lot of dogs around that are not suited to a city enviroment at all.As an example i know a Belgian Mastiff that is kept in a small flat,to placate the owners macho image.Totally wrong and unfair on the dog.In general in a city enviroment dogs are not suitable pets,they need lots of space.And of course there is the doo doo problem.”

    “People and dogs have shared their lives, homes, towns and food for centuries. Why should we change that now Rhys? If you want to live in a fur free metropolis the I suggest you move away from the country. (In case you've failed to notice; Plymouth is not really that far from the scary wild places where dogs are meant to be). Go and try Manchester or London for a while and you'll see a few less dogs- this should work pretty well for both of us!”

    “What a miserable unfriendly and inconsiderate so and so, perhaps Rhys would prefer a crowd of rowdy yobbos sat alongside whilst eating. Give me a friendly canine any day.”

    “I do lead a sad life , as my best friend is my retired greyhound , I live alone as my dear wife is in a care home , she has dementia , so me and my dog eat together , sleep together and walk together .
    I do take my dog to town when I visit building society's etc also I take her to the care home to visit my wife every day , where the patents make a fuss of her , also when in town people will ask questions about her and her racing career ,
    Dogs give you genuine love , they do not shoplift , start fights , get drunk or try to con people , give me a dog any day”

    “Ian said- 'Charliedodd there is no need to refer to yourself in your comments "inbreed freak'..

    Congratulations mate, that was almost funny..:)
    But seriously, most dogs walking around look like failed genetic experiments that have escaped from the island of Doctor Moreau”

    “..Sonofmeldrew quote- [CharlieDodd said]-'but nowadays they're just a waste of fur. Yet another comment for the sole purpose of trolling"..

    But mate, what good are dogs? Most are completely unnatural genetically-modified inbred freaks that look like they've crawled out of a nuclear reactor!”
