Grab it, bag it, bin it!

DOG owners are being urged to 'Grab it, Bag it, Bin it' during National Poop Scoop Week.

The Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity, has teamed up with St Helens Council to deliver the message 'pick up the poop' and help clean up public spaces for the summer.

Clarissa Baldwin, chief executive for the Dogs Trust, said: "It's such a shame that a small number of owners put dogs in a bad light as there are millions of responsible owners and well-behaved dogs out there!

"We aim to raise awareness of this issue and encourage the minority of irresponsible dog owners to do their duty, making public spaces cleaner and more pleasant for everyone."

Failure to clean up after your dog can lead to prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000.
