Dear Paula,

Trust my email finds you well.

Thank you so much for all your assistance in this matter,

I am writing to you with regards to the ongoing issue of the unattended dog feces by the people that reside at 326 Shannon drive.

Despite my initial complaint, I regret to inform you that the problem still persists. There are numerous instances where the dog's waste is left unattended for long periods at a time which poses a significant health risk as it leaves a very strong STENCH in the surrounding area.

It is imperative that they should be aware of their responsibilities and that it should be picked up to maintain a clean and healthy environment for everyone,as they do not seem to understand this.

The poor dog is left without any shelter in the rain and sun. It's not surprising how they don't seem to care that it lives in its own feces.

The area is not washed and cleaned, it has a strong stench of urine and feces. Most Importantly, the dog is not inoculated which they don't even consider necessary.

They should be caught unaware as they will clean up all the evidence, if they are notified in advance. When confronted they lie to defend their actions.

They want the dog but they are lazy and show no sense of responsibility towards it.
