Is dog excrement harmless….hmmm well that depends.
I am always surprised at the number of dogs roaming the neighbourhood and depositing their waste indiscriminately. I thought having a dog was about getting outdoors for healthy exercise and being with mans best friend. Luckily the roaming dogs I have come across have been friendly, however, I’m always a bit hesitant when unfamiliar dogs approach me and my two year old twins and there is no owner anywhere to control the dog.
I must also mention an incident last Summer when I was towing my charriot with my then 18 month old babies. Unbeknown to me a large, rancid dog poo had flicked up off my back wheel and landed on my babies covering them and their drink bottles in excrement. Their screams and my retching as I tried to clean it off them with baby wipes was something I’d wish to forget. So harmless, nope! There isno excuse for dog poo on walkways or paths, just hoof it outa the way if you can’t pick it up. Get your own dogs poo on your own shoes and then see how much fun and harmless it is!!
