In my opinion, I have seen far too many village dog owners that are inconsiderate to non-animal aficionados.
OP was not even talking about dogs being friendly or not, biting or not.


I find a lot of the time it's the people who have had run-ins with dogs in the past who are complaining about any dog activity in TV, be it picking up poop or whatever. Oftentimes their response is escalated into a situation that doesn't even occur in TV and is off topic.


You state you "inadvertently" stepped on a dog's foot when you were a child. Is there more to the story. Now you indicate that dogs in TV are not friendly.

I "innocently/inadvertently" was trespassing through someone's backyard on the way home from school in the 5th grade, when their boxer bit me on the knee.

There's a whole lot of difference between someone's dog biting you and some dog's owner neglecting to pick up after them. I'd like to see the facts: how many dogs have attacked how many Villagers in how many years.
