Dog walkers

Published: 9:44 AM September 7, 2010    Updated: 6:34 PM November 7, 2020

SIR - Although I fully appreciate not everyone likes dogs, and why should they, I cannot recall ever reading about dogs spreading disease in or around the Sidmouth area.

I have, however, caught the common cold, plus other infections, from my fellow human beings. This has not stopped me walking on the Byes.

I enjoy meeting up with people and dog walkers and enjoying the wonderful freedom that this delivers.

My only suggestion would be is to stay indoors and not visit Sidmouth if your concern is catching germs.

Oh, by the way, yes I do have a dog and my home smells fresh and is extremely clean and tidy.
