Doug, the beloved school crossing man at East Wanneroo primary and high schools, is a cherished figure in our community. For the past three years, Doug has brightened everyone’s morning with his friendly demeanor and unwavering commitment to keeping our children safe as they journey to and from school. But Doug doesn't do it alone; his loyal companion, Dell, a gentle and affectionate dog, joins him. Dell has become an adored member of our community in her own right, bringing smiles and joy to students, parents, and passersby.

However, a recent complaint has put a halt to Dell’s daily appearance at the school crossing. This decision has left a noticeable void in our community. Doug and Dell have been an inseparable team, and Dell's presence brings happiness and a sense of family to an otherwise routine part of the day. The children eagerly pat Dell and share treats with her, and her absence has been felt deeply by many.

Dell is not just any dog; she's part of what makes our community special. Her friendly nature has proven to be a significant comfort and joy on what might otherwise be stressful mornings for many students. Allowing Dell to return is a simple and effective way to preserve the unique, welcoming atmosphere our community is known for.

By signing this petition, you are supporting the reinstatement of Dell at the school crossing. We are urging the relevant authorities in Wanneroo, WA, to reconsider the decision and allow Doug to bring Dell back to work. Let us bring back the joy and warmth that Doug and Dell provide to our children and community. Please sign to show your support!
