28. It's a dog owner's "doody" to pick up their dog's mess

Thu Mar 12, 2026, 03:02 PM

It’s actually not OK to not pick up your dogs poop. The obvious reason is someone could step in it, which is really rude and frustrating. However, while it does degrade, feces has a lot of noxious material in it and that runoff can go into streams and depleting the oxygen levels. It’s a massive storm water poollution issue.

If you are someone that cannot “be bothered” to pick up the crap and then carry it until you can find a trash can, you are a bad dog owner and your irresponsibility makes others resent dogs. That is unfair to dogs.
