I am profoundly baffled why any dog owner would carefully collect their dog’s mess in a bag made especially for this purpose and then just leave it.
It has been suggested, by someone much more forgiving than I, that dog walkers don’t want to carry a bag of pooh around and intend to collect the bag on their way back.
While this might be true in a few cases, judging by the state of the bags left laying about or hanging from a bush for many days, nobody is coming back to collect it.
To me this is truly offensive and incomprehensible behaviour and I hope I never catch anyone doing this disgusting thing, as I fear I might become thoroughly unpleasant too.
