Years ago we had a small dog. Back then you could let them out on their own to do their business. She seemed to "know" the lot-line and stayed in our yard til winter came that is. One Spring the neighbor came over and nicely asked if we'd clean up the dog poop as they had small kids and didn't want the mess. We were SOOOOO embarrassed and promptly did that. After all that happened we were much more diligent on keeping Poochie near our house. Don't know when the shift happened where humans don't adhere to laws much less just plain common sense that their dog is an animal and not a furry-human. Oh....and I do love pets....we've had a few (cats too).
