I'm trying to get my head around why people think it's ok for dogs to go on private property (picked up or not). Can anybody help me who thinks that--what is the reasoning? I just don't get it.

I'm trying to think of analogies...bear with me please. I would like sincere responses from people who think it's ok to let pets go on private property how these situations may differ in your mind from your dog's picked up poop.

Say you're walking the dog in a small town and a guy spits his tobacco wad on your dog, says, "oops, I'll clean it up. they ought to put someplace to spit around here" and wipes the dog off.
The dog is your property, the guy cleaned it up.---Is this ok?
If it happened repeatedly, would you keep going there?

Say your car is parked at the grocery while you're shopping in the only shady spot. Staff have historically been smoking and eating lunch under that tree. Jane has eaten her messy oriental food from your hood. She is cleaning up the mess with iced tea on a napkin when you come out with groceries.
"Hey, the car is clean now. They should put picnic tables out here."
The car is your property. People have to eat-----Is this ok?
If this became the norm at groceries with shade, would you park in the shade?
