So please let this person and their dog go for a walk and don't denegrade their ability to pick up the poop.
I agree they should not go in someone's yard but would you really have it in the street??? We have lots of resourceful people in TV and I hope someone can come up with some sort of mechanism these folks could use to pick up the poop. I know how much joy my fur kids bring to my life - it is probably multiplied if you are handicapped and homebound. Please have some compassion.

I never said the person should not go for a dog walk with the scooter. I said that they should have the dog doo it in their OWN yard. If containing the dog in their own yard till it dumps requires an invisible fence, then that is what they can do. Or they can get a courtyard villa with walled in backyard where the dog can roam free in its own yard and can choose all its favorite spots to go on, and THEN it can go with the owner for a walk, as thousands of people like us do.
And if they cannot pick up, they can leave it in their OWN yard, until somebody--paid or voluntary--can collect it once a week. There were pet waste collection businesses growing in our former community, and I'd bet there are people here, such as dog sitters, who would pick up once a week and take it away.
