Just how many dogs can be safely walked by one person at a time?
Some dog walkers seem to have no upper limit-- I have spotted one with twelve hounds!
Six months ago, I found a little terrier in Downhills Park, Tottenham, shaking and distressed. His dog-walker had so many dogs, she hadn't even noticed he was missing. Foul abuse from her was all I received for reuniting them.
Only today I was shocked to see two groups of dogs - possibly from the same Canine cohort - tied to the railings at the entrance of Downhills Park (Downhills Park/Keston Road, N17) with not a soul in sight. The dogs looked thoroughly distressed. Do the owners of these dogs even know how poorly cared-for their pets are?
As a responsible dog-walker, who is both insured and never walks more than 2 dogs at a time, I can only conclude that many others are are motivated purely by greed, and not by a love of animals, with some owners paying up to £20 per hour.
Please forward to anyone you know in the Tottenham and wider Haringey area who owns a dog(s).

Good grief, what a to-do!.
Screen grab has been taken down. It's not clear why the group was so vexed by it however since the group very clearly states that it's a public one.
Everything on HoL is public and all HoL members would be well advised not to post anything they didn't want to be available to the whole world, The same note of caution applies to any public Facebook group.
Apologies for thinking you posted the screen shot. That wasn't you. Sorry to make that mistake. That fact has been made clear on an updated post on the DD site and I understand the screen grab in question has been taken down. However, you did quote verbatim a post from that thread, without permission from the poster, and in an unpleasant manner. This is pretty much the same thing in the view of the admin. Downhills Dogs admin maintains that the original post was unsubstantiated, was inappropriate for the FB page and therefore had to be removed. (No, I am not one of the dog walkers btw)
If you are still baffled then there is clearly nothing more to say on the matter.
There is a picture of an elderly woman, who just happens to be a neighbour, in one of the pics surrounded by dogs. I wonder if they asked for her permission to take and use it on social media?
Have they?
