Sir - Regarding the recent dog mess story. My husband walks our large dog twice a day and recognises when he is about to squat so slides some newspaper under him to catch most of what would be deposited onto the ground normally!

He then gathers it into a nappy bag to dispose of it! Quite a lot better and cleaner than trying to gather it into a plastic bag and leaves much less behind!

A good tip don't you think??
