A LOT of people moan and complain, rightly so on occasion, about the behaviour of dogs and their owners on Turbary Park Common.

Well, no one has thanked my dog named Buddy for clearing up some of the litter on the common, e.g. balls, rag and fir cones.

We, the royal we, have cleared from the common, at least 70-odd balls and even bits of balls over the last 18 months, some of which he proudly displays in the photos. The rest I have thrown or given away.

No wonder Buddy looks tired and hungry.

I would have thought somebody would at least have given him a lovely marrow bone as a thank you for his hard work!
