As Ammo tries to find a way to drink from the City of Turlock’s broken sprinkler without getting his ears wet, I called 668-5590 to report the location of the sprinkler.

Walking doesn’t just create a stronger bond with your dog.  It also doesn’t just help with your and your dog’s health.  Walking your dog around the neighborhood gives you a purpose in your community.  It is then when you meet and greet your neighbors, observe any suspicious activities, and report broken sprinklers to the City when they would otherwise not know that it was broken.

One time while I was working a dog walking service in a neighborhood on the opposite side of town, I walked by a car that had its window smashed in.  I knocked on the house and the resident already had called Turlock PD, but thanked me for being concerned.

As dog lovers, we should remember to smile as we walk (and talk) to our dogs.  Loving our community is just a part of the dog walks!
