Tips on Being a Better Dog Owner
If you live in Southie then you know that our neighborhood is dog central. Seems like everyone has dog. Sometimes on a Sunday there are more dogs up at M Street Park than millennials at brunch at Lincoln. In other words, there are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood. As a dog owner, we all like to think we are responsible but judging by the amount of poop bags left on the sidewalk, we are not. So we thought we’d offer some tips to help us all become better dog owners. Check them out here!

You might have experienced some inconsiderate and maybe even some downright rude behavior during the winter – so we at Caught in Southie would like to help you out and offer some etiquette when it comes to shoveling.

The problem up metal of honor park is the dogs. Go up there and day around 5 and there r at least 20-30 dogs running around off leash. I have called dog control and by the time they come , they r gone. There should b some kind of patrol set up . There is a dog park less than a half block away . The dogs r making a mess of this park and it’s very sad . That they are allowed to do this at a park with such meaning to a lot of family from south Boston. I would bet they don’t ever no why it’s called metal of honor b park in the first place .
