Want to help keep the park clear of dog waste? Be part of the poo-loution solution. Click the link in our bio to sign up for training on the 20th. What do you do with your leashed dogs waste when in the park? I use something similar to the second photo. @muttclutch is a local, Quincy, company that designed a way to carry all your stuff, and to take the waste out with you. I am sure there are other things like this....what is your personal solution? #bostonhikes #bostonnature 📸: sandy carr
