I have written about this in the past, but it is so repugnant that I feel I need to address it again. Why can’t people who walk their dogs, hoping they will do their duty somewhere but their own backyards, not pick it up when they do?



I walk my dog every morning very early and clean up after him, but there is poop on the sidewalks, in the parkway grass and on front lawns from the night before.

The other day I was walking by Houghton Park and saw this guy drive in and let his dog out. It promptly ran off, pooped and came back. It got in the car and off they went.

I can’t believe how irresponsible, lazy and selfish dog owners are to not clean up after their pets. Those of us who care about keeping the environment clean are very offended, and that is why I am writing, yet again, about this disgusting behavior by pet owners.

Please, pet owners, pick up after your dog. Be courteous and respect the property your dog is pooping on.
