Fiche 77, exercice supplémentaire 2
- Code of conduct
Keep your dog under close control at all times.
Do not allow dogs to disturb birds or livestock. Once your dog gets

Never let your dog roam around the coast unattended as dogs can disturb
wildlife and cause a nuisance to other visitors.
Not everyone likes dogs, some people, especially children, are very
afraid of them. Try and prevent your dog from running up to people even

a good idea to have a temporary tag with your holiday address on it
or mobile phone number.
Never leave a dog unattended in a car, even with the window open and
water available. Take them out of the car and leave them in a secure,
cool place with access to shade and water.

And the Year
On the earth her death-bed, in a shroud of leaves dead,
Is lying.
