Hey Thetis!

We have a dog that will eat anything, and on the Lawrence Spring Trail someone regularly leaves behind their own stool just off the trail, and my dog finds it and eats it, and he keeps getting sick hours after, it is clear to be human feces as there is always a bunch of toilet paper left behind, which also concerns me as toilet paper is bleached and my dog is consuming that as well.

As dog droppings must be cleaned up, so must human droppings be cleaned up, especially seeing as this person is evidently prepared to have a bowl movement on the trail, judging by the amount of toilet paper left behind every time.

At the least, maybe they could start pooping on the leashed part of the trail, so that my dog won't be able to get it.  (NO! note: from thetisposts editor)

I ask please if we could all bury our stool or bring a dog bag and wrap up your own poo, my dog is throwing up and it stinks incredibly bad. This may seem disgusting but it is quite normal especially for rescue dogs, so I do not think I am not asking an unreasonable favour.

Stripped to the Studs!
