Has anyone seen this chap going around on an oversized scooter being pulled by huskies around Bengeo? I've been working from home for the past few days and have seen him quite a lot during the day. Does anyone know if he is a full time husky trainer? It seems a very unusual job for someone based in Hertford to have.

I've seen him a few times running them all up Porthill on the pavement. I couldn't work out if he was a trainer or just someone with a lot of dogs! I guess Father Christmas is busy and needs help from some of us, or maybe he's doing an expedition somewhere and needs to get used to dogs pulling sleds??? Either way its quite a sight I agree.

He is not a professional but believes he is! He tears about with no understanding or appreciation of others and just expects people to get out of his way. Also, he lives in a 1 bed flat and has 4 dogs. That just sounds cruel to me.

Dog mess/poop conversation aside - I have to say when "greeted" by my large, stupid and over friendly dog on the occasions they have met I am very impressed with the very calm nature of the huskies who seem able to grin and bear it with no fuss at all on their part. Do you take on hopeless case other breeds?

Husky Man. Don't take buzz's comments too seriously. He's the forum equivalent of Viz's Meddlesome Ratbag & has been for years. We put up with him & the place wouldn't be the same without him. And thanks. You allowed a very good friend of mine to take the Huskies up Port Hill the other week. And she was very chuffed about the whole experience! Enjoy.

Surely it would need to be video evidence, not just photos. It would be easy to take photos of a dog having a poo with the owner watching but that wouldn't prove they didn't then clean it up

Hi Husky Man, I have a question for you, why is it that you never close the gates behind you when you go through the enclosed area that houses the Cricket field, Astro pitch and Tennis courts at GSK ware? The gates are the metal ones next to the Wooden Bridge over the river and next to the A10 Viaduct. They are both clearly labelled asking for the gates to be closed behind you. I have seen you several times and on every occasion you have left the gates stuck open. I am not on here to start a row, just to politely ask you to close the gates behind you. Thank you.
