Responsible Dog Owner
Posted posted by Trevor Jones @ 10:54 AM
Walking around campus today I saw a perfect example of personal responsibility. An old lady was walking her dog and the dog stopped to do its business if you know what I mean. Then the dog scampered off and the lady, being the responsible dog owner she is, picked up after her dog and put it in the garbage can. Being a witness of this responsible dog owner, I was very thankful for people like that because I have stepped in the traces of irresponsible dog owners one too many times. It’s an easy task to pick up after one’s dog as demonstrated by that old lady today, but so many people don’t take responsibility for their dog’s actions. I am almost positive those irresponsible people don’t want to step in their dog’s waste, so why can’t they be more responsible and take care of it for the rest of us? I don’t know anyone that wants to step in it so I wish they could take the example of that old lady and apply that in their lives. It’s a small act of personal responsibility to pick up after your own dog, but it can mean a lot to everyone else.
