Dog Mania: Obsession, disrespect, and the decline of consideration

It still saddens me for example to see such a beautiful little reserve like La Gola in Puerto Pollensa, strewn with dog faeces on the paths and in the grass areas. Lazy people are obviously taking their dogs there knowing they won’t have to clear the mess up, and where are the police or the authorities, I have never seen anyone being fined for dog fouling.

Even sitting outside at cafes now can sometimes be a challenge, when someone turns up with a small yappy excuse for a dog and continue to allow it to bark all the time whilst the owner drinks their coffee. They may like to hear their dog but please keep in mind that the rest of us don’t. We have come for a sit down, to relax and watch the world go by not listen to this sort of annoying noise. And when I do ask them to control the dog it is like I’ve told the owner of a small child to be quiet not the dog.

People really take it to heart that they have been challenged over their selfish attitude and behaviour. Some people really need to get a dictionary and look up the word ‘respect’ and get a grip on reality.
