If you thought no one was looking would you not pick it up?
During our Geek meet we observed a woman walking her dog. The dog pooped and we saw that she bent over and piled pine needles on it. What a jerk. It was by the dock where people would be walking.

They let their dogs roam free and they poo in my garden.

I would still pick it up, IKWTDS.
If you and Sonny, went off the beaten path, so might a child.
If Sonny lays it down, the right thing to do is, pick it up.
JMHO.
And awful neighbor should be turned in. I don't know of anywhere, that doesn't have a leash law.
That neighbor is putting his dog/s at risk, letting him/them roam free.
Neighbor needs to get a clue. Before one of his dogs gets hit by a car, or something.

I can't get into the areas a small dog can, not even his best buddy can get into the areas he can. Those are the spots I am talking about. But I get what you are saying.

Okay, roger that.
If the area is so remote, you could break a leg, going after it. I give you a pass.
I'm careful about litter.
Dog poop, cigarette butts. Whatever it might be. I'm a stickler about cleaning up after myself. And my dog.
I don't want you climbing a cliff, to retrieve a Sonny poo.
It depends. If it's in someone's yard - I pick it up 100% of the time. If it's at the nature center where we go walking, if it isn't on the path, I don't pick it up. My dog's poop is the size of my pointer finger in length and width. Sometimes I can't even find it after he goes. I am not spending 5 minutes looking for it. The wild animals that poop there have bigger turds than my dog! If he goes on the path or where I think someone would step in it, I pick it up for sure.

I never picked up my dog's poop. She pooped in her own yard, where, I never knew. She would only go if no one was watching, and I suspect she buried it under leaves or what not. When going for walks, she didn't pee or poo. She didn't need to. She was an outside dog that had access to the garage where she slept and/or found shelter.
A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.
However, my dog is never an issue for someone else. She gets her exercise in our own yard. Or, i might take her out into the woods but i am not walking her down residential areas. As for her poop, we clean it up daily or every other day in our yard.
I watched a guy let his dog unload a huge one on my mothers front yard and walk away. I grabbed a bag and yelled, 'Excuse me you forgot something!' I walked over, handed him the bag and pointed. Loser.
Now, other people let their dog poo in our yard and I am not happy about that at all. A teacher and her kids let their dog poo in our yard all the time. Last summer, I picked it up and dumped it in their yard. Yeah, I was ticked.
When their dog gets loose, he always comes over here and I don't know why he does! Yappy little bugger. We must be to nice to him.

Faith isn't something that keeps bad things from happening. Faith is what helps us get through bad things when they do happen.
If our dog poos in someone's yard, we pick it up. All the neighbors have an unspoken agreement, though - if they poop along the vacant wooded lots, we can leave it there.
Last night, I took the dog out and realized when the kids walked her, she dropped poops as she was walking back up the driveway. I don't think the kids noticed, and I had to pick them up.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Z likes to poop in the bushes. So I don't. Mostly because it's in places that humans don't go. he likes his privacy. However, in the dog park or on the beach or on a walk, yes.
I also offer baggies to people who 'forget' theirs at the dog park.
Unless it is on a walkway or where kids play. I don't see the big deal.

And, if it's on your property, it's not a problem.
If it's not on your property, do the polite thing. Pick it up. (As long as you can get to it safely.)
Ha! It is so much better today than when I grew up. Couldn't step out the door without stepping in dog poo left by any number of dogs. I am really on board with the leash laws and such these days.

I can't remember the last time any of us stepped in poop.
Course, I grew up in barns and pastures and chicken houses.
Poop is just part of life.

Bird poop, squirrel poop, fox poop. All kinds of animals poop in all kinds of places.
(I'm not arguing, just playing. Devil's advocate if you will.)

I'll play, Lily.
There is a difference between wild animals, and domesticated animals. Dogs and cats, for the most part, are kept as pets.
Pet owners should feed, walk, and clean up after their pets. Love them, and take them in for check ups, and get their shots updated, too.
Birds, squirrels, foxes, possems, etc. Are wild. They are going to do, what a wild animal is going to do.
Wild animal poo, isn't much of an issue, when you live in town.
Lazy dog owners, who don't pick up after their pets, should be smacked. It's not that hard, to pick up after your dog.
And cat owners, who let their cats roam around, are putting their cats at risk, for an early death. (House cats live an average of 15 years. Roaming cats live less than 7.)
Our cats play in our backyard. Six foot fence, with a cat containment system, where needed.
If you have a pet, take care of it properly, please.
In Indiana, the college campus DH worked at had a HUGE problem with Canadian geese. Their sidewalks were littered with goose poop. It was disgusting. They had to have people shovel it off the sidewalks.

Geese can be very messy.
I saw a program on Animal Planet, where Golf Courses will hire dogs, to run off the geese.
The dogs don't hurt the geese. They just get them moving along.

HEY!! You know how I feel about Canada-shaming!!
Come visit any housing subdivision in central Indiana. Builders think that adding a pond makes the neighborhood attractive...Yeah, it's attractive to GEESE. The sad thing, to me, is that they are now so accustomed to living with humans that flocks of them mosey across the road and will NOT get out of the way of cars. I've seen that more times than I care to remember.

The U.S. should build a wall to keep the geese out.

The university would help pay for that! Lol. The university president is obsessed with getting rid of the geese. Obsessed.

Not 100% certain they can have dogs running all over campus scaring the geese! Dogs would run into the road and get hit by cars, chase geese into the road to be hit by cars, chase humans headed to class...it isn't like a golf course where it's vacant for stretches at a time. There are people all over campus from early morning until late at night. But it would be fun to watch!!

They have a dog at our club, too, to chase off the geese.
At my office, the geese come back every Spring. They will squat in the parking lot, and are protected by law so we have to drive around them. They nest in our planters. We just deal with it every day, every year. They're here now. I saw one getting ready to walk in my path driving in. There was a large water puddle. Yep, I splashed it.
When I had a dog, I picked up his poo unless he'd poo somewhere I couldn't access.
Geese - I have fond memories of one goose. He lived in a park near where I grew up. Every time we'd go to the park, he'd find me and nuzzle up on my leg. I'd sit down and he'd crawl into my lap and stay there for a good half hour. I'd pet him and he'd just chill. Loved that goose. Unfortunately, some jerk killed him along with a bunch of the other geese and ducks in that park.
