Greener Leith has friends in many places, and so we're pleased to publish this photo that was shared with us by Eva Suba - a Hungarian, who now lives in Germany.

On this blog we've had more than one post about dogs and their impact on parks. This is because the problem of dog fouling often features on lists of priorities for public space improvements. Recently, for example, our story about the Poo-Gooder in Pilrig Park who tries to maintain a 'good poo Karma' has led Greener Leith to receive some enquiries from the press as to whether he really exists. He does, and if he wants to do newspaper interviews, perhaps he may be catapulted to local hero for his positive attitude to dog ownership? 

Anyway, back to the photo. Eva, captioned this photo 'Welcome To Germany". Whilst we hate to play up to national stereotypes, we're not sure the idea of an official 'dog park' could have originated in any other country other than Germany. It's certainly a 'dog management' tool we hadn't considered until now! 

Sadly, we can't see dog parks working here. Think we'll stick with Leith Central Community Council who, like us, are calling for more fines to be issued to lazy dog owners with bad poo karma.
