Pick up your own dog poo

Dear editor
I strongly believe that every dog owner should pick up their own dog’s poo.
Firstly as a dog owner when I walk my dog on the road or the beach I often come across droppings scattered around just waiting for me to step on. If I’m not paying attention, I could bring home on my shoes, disgusting, smelly, gooey stuff which I then have to spend my precious time scrubbing off.
Secondly if you go to any shop, mostly supermarkets, they will give you free plastic bags and dog owners should reuse these on their walks to pick up their dog’s mess. The council has put plenty of rubbish bins around the streets for you to use so there is no excuse for laziness .
Finally our streets would look a lot cleaner if there was no poo and it would make it nicer to walk on in bare feet.

  1. Ha ha good post person! I also being a dog owner totally
    agree 😀 I must say though, that having two dogs for so many
    years, I have gotten very good at dodging all of the doo doo mines
    so I barely ever actually stand in it any more 😀 🙂 😀

  2. Very great article. I believe all dog owners should read this (especially the lazy ones!) and take this into account. thankyou for speaking your mind with us, a very valuable explanation!

  3. that is very true and if they keep not picking it up the council can band people from walking there dogs.

  4. I wonder why they say that they have scrub their shoes but then it said it would be better to walk barefoot ?

  5. i have dog and i do not want to pick up the dog poo but if i do it makes my yard look nice and no one will on it with socks or barefoot when we are playing in the backyard

  6. I’m a owner of a dog and she poos EVERYWHERE and she also comes back home with poop stuck on her fur…??

  7. im a dog owner and i know how it feels having to pick up my dogs poop everyday its so frustrating especially for me cause im only 11 years old and every day have to walk in below freezing weather and sit and pick up poop my dog is big and always tries to attack littler dogs thats why im here in a cast for my leg right now got whip lash from my dog and went flying cause he ran for another dog ???

  8. He’s got a point. I have two dogs and every time I take them for a walk, the whole neighborhood is a “try not to step on the grass” course. And what does everyone else do? Nothing! I have to clean the whole stinking place!

  10. Its okay. I hope you get a dog for your birthday or any holiday. P.S: I have a dog

  11. This was very useful as a dog owner. Though I do pick up her poo this is something that should spread across the world.

  12. I have to read this for school and tell my teacher what type of opinion writing this is.

  13. I don’t think it is funny. People do get sewed if they will not pick up the dogs poop of someones yard.

  14. 1.The main person is the dog owner

    2.That people should pick up there dogs poop

    3.This event took place on the streets

    1. this event happens when the owner took out his dog
  15. I agree,im a dog owner myself and when i go to the yard to walk my dog there is like always dog poop!Its not not my dog’s poo cause i use bags to pick it up.Even tho im a child, this should stop.

  16. To be honest I agree with this statement. But ew.? Dog poop is descusting I wish there was more disposal bins around my area? let’s be honest here..should we have more trash cans?

  18. Georgia Clean Water Campaign estimated that a single gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, which are known to cause , intestinal illness

  19. This is horrible! Barefoot Bernie is stupid. This is the worst thing I’ve ever read!

  20. hi, i think that dogs should just poo in their back yard to where no one has to pick it up, i am a dog owner

  21. Everyday, I take a walk and come across lots of dog poo. It really bothers me and I also agree that every dog owner should pick up their own dogs poo.

  22. I strongly agree. I cant count how many times I’ve stepped on dog poop. I hope the people who do this will come to their senses, and stop being lazy.

  23. I agree with this because I have 2 dogs myself and when I walk them I sometimes get mad when I see poop around. I know that you can get doggie poop bags so why people don’t buy them is kind of upset when people don’t pick it up. Picking it up would make the streets a lot cleaner.

  24. I think he is right it is the responsibility of dog owners to pick up their own dogs poo it is very annoying to have to clean off a chunk of Brown’smelly gooey thing off your shoe especially when it is poo

  25. poop 🙂 Dunkin’ Donuts: Stop Using Styrofoam Cups
    We fourth and fifth graders know for sure that Dunkin’ Donuts is a great place! We love having a Munchkin snack and a hot cocoa after school. However, we are concerned about the Styrofoam cups they use. They sell more than 1.7 billion coffees a year

  26. True that. They need to pick up the poo because it is very smelly and does not work as fertilizer

  27. I do think doo doo mines should be cleaned up, but you don’t need a bomb squad to do it. Just clean da PPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPP

  28. I totally agree i would want to want bare feet without stepping on poop

  29. I totally agree, our world is getting worse and worse owners should be arrested for not disgaurding droppings

  30. I dont have problems with dog poo but i am clumsy so i trip and land in it with my face
