Someone has taken irresponsible dog owners to task by pinning this stark home-made notice on a Brigg public footpath sign midway between the long-established River Ancholme towpath (below left) and the new Ancholme Way footpath/cycleway (below right).
No-one wants to put their foot in it, so to speak. Dog owners should therefore clean up after their pets while exercising them alongside the Ancholme.
Most of those who keep dogs as pets do what they need to do with the doggie doo... but clearly there are some exceptions.
