A recent dog attack in Nanango and complaints about dog poo on footpaths has prompted South Burnett Regional Council to remind dog owners about their responsibilities.<\/p>\n

A pig dog was surrendered to Council and later euthanased earlier this week after it savaged a small dog belonging to an elderly couple visiting the region.<\/p>\n

The smaller dog required emergency treatment at a local vet surgery after the attack.<\/p>\n

Council is currently investigating whether a second dog allegedly involved in the incident should be declared dangerous.<\/p>\n

A Council spokesperson reminded owners that dogs must always be kept under effective control while in a public place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Dogs must be leashed at all times outside your property, except when in designated off-leash areas,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Council also reminded dog owners they are also responsible for “deposits” made by their animals.<\/p>\n

“All dog owners must pick up all faeces left by your animal whilst in a public place and dispose of it appropriately,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“Council encourages dog owners to be prepared with plastic bags to collect any excreta from their animal.<\/p>\n

“Dog waste bag dispensers have been provided at off-leash areas for residents\u2019 convenience.<\/p>\n

“If utilising these public areas, please be courteous and considerate of other users and their animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If you do not comply with the local laws as a dog owner or dog carer, you could attract a maximum fine of $2669 per offence.<\/p>\n

“Members of the public are also reminded that they can report any non-compliant behaviours to Council for investigation and an appropriate response.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
