A Kilmarnock dog walker was given a special surprise after binning his pet's poo.

Environmental enforcement officers from East Ayrshire Council saw the unnamed walker bagging and binning the mess in the town's Howard Park. 

Where £80 fines would normally be given for failing to pick up dog poo, this walker was instead given a family ticket to a Kilmarnock FC home game. 

The move is part of East Ayrshire Council's drive to eradicate dog fouling in the authority.
