Congratulations on dog census

I must apologise to Irene Miller.

Obviously the dog census was carried out with great care.

I take a walk each morning and that is why I missed the caller.

Since the census, I have heard that an elderly lady was injured by a friendly dog which swam out to her while she was swimming and the Council have been informed of this sad incident.

Having had dogs both as a boy and later as an adult, I know how valuable they are as companions.

However with urban life changing, we must take a hard look at all pets and their impact.

Again my apologies to Irene Miller and my congratulations on the care she took with the census.
