Just need a rant

I'd just arrived at the park with my dog. Two people ahead of me had a toddler and a Westie on one of those extending leads. The dog had lagged behind them and crouched to go to the toilet. They weren't aware. I wasn't sure whether it had done a poo or a wee but when I drew level with where it had crouched, there was a fresh pile there.

I called over to the people "excuse me, your dog has just been to the toilet".

The woman called back "not our dog, he went in our garden before we left".

I said, "sorry he's been again, it's just here".

The man came over and repeated that it wasn't their dog. I said "it was, I saw him go". At which point, I said "don't worry, I'll pick it up".

I cleared up the dog poo and it was still warm. I offered the man a feel but he wasn't impressed. Grin

A woman with a labrador had heard the exchange and she said to me it would now be karma if their toddler trod in some poo.

I was really annoyed, quite honestly. I would be delighted if someone told me that I'd missed my dog going but this couple couldn't have cared less.

My DH said I should have given him the poo. Grin

Sometimes it is good to rant.

Well done for picking it up and keeping your cool.

Thanks. I now feel I did the right thing. At least it was one less poo for someone to stand in.

Well done for picking it up, it's more than most people would do.

It is possible to not notice, but that reaction was odd. In our local dog park we point out to each other if we haven't noticed our dog toileting.

They obviously sound the type that never pick their dog poo up. Its disgusting to leave it especially in a park. Well done for picking it up for them. Fingers crossed they step in some other dogs poo.

Offering him to feel that it’s warm is absolutely hilarious 😂 well done OP

Well done! What baffles me is all dog poo on paths, I know all dogs are different but mine and most that I know would veer into the bushes or at least a bit off the path to go! my theory is that it's exactly what you describe, dogs on long extended leads that don't have much choice

Well done for saying something. My DH bellowed 'Are you going to pick that up??' across a park a while back when a bloke walked away from his pooing dog and got a ripple of applause from other walkers. At least that time the bloke had the decency to apologise and go back for it.

@Yokohamajojo I walk my dogs on long lines they never go on a path always in long grass. You can't blame it on dogs with extended leashes alone. A lot of domestic dogs use paths.
