A dog owner says she was forced to give her pet an emergency washdown in the sea after he rolled in human faeces left on a Welsh beach. Benji the Chihuahua cross was left covered in foul-smelling poo on a beach where the only public toilets have been closed.
Tiina Ligema, from Meliden, said she was left disgusted by Benji’s experiences on Barkby Beach, Prestatyn, on Monday, North Wales Live reports. She said she had to drag him to the sea to scrub off “revolting” excrement left near the beach car park.
Benji's owner claims this is the second time the five-year-old dog has rolled in human poo since Denbighshire Council closed the beach toilet for repairs in early April. The authority initially said the work would be completed after Easter but the repairs remain ongoing.
