What happens if your child or dog becomes ill because someone doesn’t pick up their dog’s mess!!!!
I have lived in Brentwood for over 13 years. During that time I have tried numerous ways to get some dog owners to clean up after their dogs. However, some I believe feel it is someone else’s job. I would like to mention to these self-centered criminals that 1) it is against the law and 2) it is not healthy for the children and community.
If a child steps in the dog waste then goes home and takes their shoes off, transferring the waste to their fingers, then somehow into their bodies either with food handled by the child or other means, the child becomes ill. The parents and the child suffer because of these people who think the world is for them alone. In the many years I have lived here, it has cost me over $7,200 in carpet cleaning.
I finally purchased a carpet shampoo machine. I am a disabled veteran suffering from Agent Orange heart issues and I need my place kept clean and I spend lot of money doing so. I have put doggie bags out for owners to use. Some people use them; some use them and then leave them on the sidewalk.
Dog owners: When your child gets sick it may be due to someone else not picking up their dog mess.
We all pay good money to live in Brentwood. I love Brentwood and so should we all. Let us all work together as a community and make sure those dog owners who refuse to pick up their dog’s mess pay their fines and do pick up their dog’s mess. Call the Animal Regulation Department once you get the criminal’s address. The phone number is 1-310-207-3156. We all need to keep our chidren and community clean, healthy and safe.
