When I was in the fox hole , I never thought oh lord if I get thru this nightmare and they remove the shrapnel I'd love to pick up dog excrement in a clear plastic bag off my neighbors lawn (even tho we have a ton of dog parks for this event or better yet the dog lovers own lawn) then carry it though the neighbor hood like a bag of truffles on award night.

Speaking of truffles in bags. Happy Halloween (or fall festival) if you're opposed to Halloween for some reason)
I would take your quote, “what part of the brain is missing to condone this behavior”, and flip it back at you. What part of the brain is missing for those who dislike dogs? Their loyalty and unwavering commitment to their owners is second to nothing. There is only one thing about being a dog owner that is less than ideal, it can be very complicated and difficult to travel. Otherwise they are absolutely great.
