City considers what to do about doggie doo
City leaders in Anchorage, Alaska, are considering a stinky issue: whether to ban dogs, and the surprises they can leave behind, from fenced ball fields.
On one side are baseball players who say they don't like picking up poop when they're preparing for the season. On the other are dog owners who counter that they deserve equal access to any public park, the Anchorage Daily News reported Tuesday.
Assembly Chairman and Little League Coach Dan Coffey put forward two different proposals -- one that would keep dogs out of all city ball fields, and a more narrow measure that would apply only to fenced fields.
Coffey said he preferred the narrower proposal, but he's preparing an amendment that would allow groups to conduct events such as dog shows on the baseball diamonds as long as they receive permission from the city.
