- I was both surprised and disappointed to read your item
- about London's being the "city of filth" (WORLD, Jan. 30) and
- then a letter about dog dirt in Paris (LETTERS, Feb. 20). I live
- in Amsterdam, and this has to be the No. 1 European capital for
- dog excrement. In a small, overcrowded country with almost 15
- million inhabitants, we have more than a million dogs. It is not
- unusual to see the tenant of a cramped city apartment taking
- two, three or even four dogs for their "walkies." The result is
- left on the sidewalks, in the parks and on the banks of the
- rivers and canals.
