I do note poop in our yard every so often.

I get more upset with the sometimes huge bird poops on the car windows as I usually need to clean that up as soon as I see it.

And there are some very big birds that fly overhead. Swans, pelicans, hawks, eagles, great egrets, great blue herons, owls, vultures, sandhill cranes, etc. Great blue heron - Wikipedia Sandhill Crane | FWC
I don't like bird poop on the windows or me (yes, many times over the years), but birds, racoon, coyotes, bobcats are wild and free and doing what wild life does. But dogs and domestic cats are not wild and free. They, dogs primarily, but occasionally cats, are a part of (supposedly) the civilized world. They go where they are enabled to go by their owners. They don't go on your yard because "dogs go when they gotta go ". No, dogs go where their owners take them to do their business, be it my lawn, your yard, the pool or mailbox areas, the planted areas at the Squares, and don't forget the golf courses. The rudeness and disrespect for their neighbors and community is what makes me angry. I am never angry at the dog. Owner? Yep! A dog should never have an oops moment on your lawn because the owner should never allowed the dog there in the first place. No excuses.
