I don't know how they are connected but it will result in a fine if you have
your dog off lease and swimming in the lake. A friend of ours received a
$280.00 fine as a result of letting their dog swim in the creek.

I recently rescued a dog from a rural shelter and will soon take him for
lake walks. We always carry pet waste bags and pick up after him on
neighborhood walks.
Can you please explain how pets dipping in lakes and uncollected pet waste
washing into lakes are connected? Thanks.
