When is it cool to not scoop your dog’s poop?

Bagging a hot handful of canine #2 is surely not high on anyone’s bucket list, which begs the question: Is it ever okay to just walk away once your dog has finished pooping? See below.

Rebuttals

“It’s just a little poop. Who will it bother?” Go step in it with your own shoes and then spend 30 minutes trying to get it out of the tread. Is it still little? Also, shit is shit, regardless of the quantity.

“But what if no one saw my dog poop?” Your dog still dumped even if no one was there to prove that it came out of a dog, not a dinosaur.

“There’s already dog poo on the ground. What’s a little bit more?” Dog poop has loads of bacteria that over time can seep through the ground and into the water. Drink up.

“There isn’t a sign saying I have to clean it up.” There also isn’t a sign saying that you shouldn’t shove pencils into people’s noises. Does that make it okay?

“It’s snowing and the snow will cover it up soon.” Spring will come and the snow will melt and the poop will still be there. It’s just that by then it will be a smooshy slushy glob of dog crap no one can really pick up.

“It’s fine. It’s in my neighbor’s flower patch.” You’re making an enemy next door. This will not end well.

“It’s in my own backyard. You can’t tell me what to do.” That one’s actually totally fine. Enjoy the crap.
