　◆ Cleaning up after your pet is the owner’s responsibility！
　Recently, complaints about owner’s not picking up after their pets have risen. This is unhygienic and lessens the beauty of our town and causes frustration of other residents, so refrain from doing this.
　◆ Do not let your dog run free！
　Letting your pet run free is a cause of danger to others and can create problems in neighbourhoods, especially when illegally entering private property. Refrain from doing this and always keep pets on a lead!
