The rest of us have rights too.

Sounds just like our neighborhood in Vermont. I think it's a losing battle.
Pets can do no wrong in the eyes of many owners. However, I often cringe thinking that my visiting, often barefoot, grandchildren will "slide down a hill" in the dog messes.
Some of the dog walkers are quite eccentric as we view them.
They truly do believe the pets are human.
They will literally walk the dog up the grassy front lawn hill to the pet's favorite spot. I'm laughing as I type this........but again, I don't think home owners can win over the pooches......plus there are bigger concerns in the world.....but yes, it is annoying.
