Neighbourly question
Editor:
I would like to comment on the full page ad taken out by the City of Surrey – City Boulevard Trees and You – in Tuesday’s paper.
I am a homeowner in South Surrey and do not have sidewalks on either side of our streets.
When I walk my dog, a neighbour requested that I do not allow my dog to do her business on his lawn.
My opinion has always been that as we do not have sidewalks, the first few feet of a property is not owned by the homeowner but by the city.
My question is: Does the property owner have the right to request that I do not allow my dog to do her business?
I always pick up after my dog, so that is not an issue.
But if my dog wants to urinate, does she have the right to pee on my neighbour’s grass?
