We have walked her from Cambridge to Ely along the river (about 25 miles) and when we got to the pick-up car at the end she was still full of beans.
By refusing the dogs of March an area to stretch their legs and have a run you are stopping them expressing their natural behaviour. They are, after all, sprinting animals.
Maybe it's time for dog licensing to come back. Maybe then fewer dogs would be dumped, harmed or left to run riot.
