I wish I knew what this sign says…my best guess would be, “Don’t litter or you’ll be attacked by dogs.”

The sign reads:
“Clean Kamakura
“Garbage goes in a wastebasket!
(at the bottom) “Kamakura city tourism association”
The little boxes tell you to take your garbage home (because there are rarely garbage cans in public places) and to pick up any litter if you find it.

That makes sense. But what does the dog have to do with it?

Well, it has nothing to do with the writing. I think the civic-minded dog (which I’m assuming is the girl’s) has seen his master littering and being non-community-minded, and is trying to drag her backwards towards the waste basket which she callously passed by in favor of littering.
