Although dog ownership may seem small, it reflects cultural literacy and tests a city's management wisdom. Recently, "Zhengzhou prohibits walking dogs in crowded public places" has become a hot topic. Originally, Zhengzhou, Henan Province issued a notice explicitly prohibiting dogs from entering public places such as parks, squares, and commercial districts where people gather, and making detailed requirements for the time, location, and behavior norms of walking dogs. Netizens have expressed their support for this measure. Nowadays, pet dogs have become an indispensable companion in many people's lives, bringing them a lot of joy and comfort. However, with the continuous increase in the number of dog owners, the phenomenon of uncivilized dog ownership has begun to emerge, becoming a hidden danger that affects urban governance and residents' lives. Some dog owners believe that 'my dog doesn't bite people' and walk their dogs without a leash, leading to incidents of dogs biting others due to fear; Some dog walkers do not clean their feces, which not only affects the appearance of the city, but may also spread diseases; Some dogs are abandoned due to high breeding costs and relocation, leading to a significant increase in the number of stray dogs. Keeping a dog and walking it for a walk seems like a family matter. But once entering a public place, it is related to the safety and convenience of others, and family affairs become everyone's business. Therefore, civilized dog ownership should become a social consensus and gather social forces to build a harmonious urban ecology where humans and dogs coexist. Civilized dog ownership requires dog owners to enhance their sense of responsibility. Keeping a dog is not only a personal need, but also a social and legal responsibility. Proactively registering for dog ownership, regularly getting vaccinated, walking dogs with leashes and cleaning up feces, and avoiding dogs interfering with others' lives... These rules must be followed. The behavior of blindly pursuing personal interests and indulging dogs without proper consideration must be abandoned, otherwise it can easily lead to negative consequences. Once causing harm to others, dog owners will bear legal responsibility. Civilized dog breeding requires law enforcement agencies to strengthen supervision. Governance should be effective, with detailed regulations and strict execution. What behaviors should be advocated and what practices should be strictly prohibited should be clearly stated and made known to the general public. We need to combine special rectification with regular inspections. If we still violate the rules after being reminded, we must dare to punish and strictly punish them, so that the rules can stand firm. Civilized dog ownership requires widespread participation from the entire society. Communities can guide residents to adopt civilized dog raising behavior by creating bulletin boards, setting up dog litter boxes, and designating dog walking zones; Media and schools can strengthen publicity and promote the concept of civilized dog raising through organizing public welfare activities and other means; Citizens can also actively participate in supervision, dissuade uncivilized behavior, and be brave enough to report if dissuasion fails. Although keeping a dog may seem small, it reflects cultural literacy and tests a city's management wisdom. Walking dogs should also follow the rules, and we hope that civilized dog raising will become a widespread consensus and be integrated into daily life. (New Society)
