Interesting thread. Many of our NE councils have sturdy "doggie bags" available for free in community venues and dog bins are regularly emptied. I realise for those who don't like the idea of dog poo ending up in landfill this isn't ideal, but it's a lot better than it being left on streets as it once was. As a grandparent caring for grandchildren I have to clean dog sh** from shoes a lot more infrequently than I did as a parent and childminder. Nostalgia freaks often wonder what happened to white dog muck - dog food got better with less ash and poo isn't left to bleach in the sun is one explanation!
