The shocking incident has prompted Denbighshire Council chiefs to urge dog owners to clean up after their pets
A girl's gum guard was caked in dog mess while playing rugby on a field at Ruthin.
The youngster found her soiled gum shield on Cae Ddol fields.
The disgusting incident has prompted Council chiefs at Denbighshire have urged dog owners to clean up after their pets.
They have said the incident could have had "serious consequences for the girl's health".
Councillor David Smith, Cabinet member for environment, said: “I am disgusted and disappointed by this lack of concern by certain dog owners disregarding all the messages regarding the consequences of dog fouling on the health of our children.
“The Council has been running a campaign, educating and encouraging people to clean up after their animals. The majority of people do act responsibly and carry bags with them.
“However, there are some individuals who think it’s appropriate not to clear the mess."
The council said the child did not suffer any reactions or lasting effects but it still would have been "a very unpleasant experience for her and her family and the consequences could have been serious."
