Dog fouling incident sparks plea

A local authority in the south of the Island says it's disappointed after a dog owner let their pet foul in front of a dog mess bag dispenser.

Castletown commissioners posted a photo to social media this morning after the incident was reported to them.

They say whoever was responsible simply walked away despite the free facility.

And they're now asking residents to take more pride in where they live.

Community spirit in action. Someone has actually allowed their dog to foul infront of the free dog bag dispenser on Douglas Street and then walked away without clearing it. Please, take pride in where you live. #pictureamendedforthesqueamish pic.twitter.com/j7Iwidmd1H
