Why Would Any Maine Dog Owner Leave Their Bagged Up #2 Behind?
No one likes to clean up poop.
It's a fact of life. I really don't believe there's a single person out there who loves to clean up something, or someone, else's poop. I supposed maybe if fertilizer is your business, then maybe you get a pass. But even then, I imagine you just have to keep reminding yourself that this is just brown cash.

But occasionally, it's necessary part of life. Especially if you own pets. Or kids, I suppose. But even they eventually figure out how to clean up their own mess. But a dog? It's just not his responsibility. It's your job to pick up after Fido. I do it like a champ. I bring the little bags with me everywhere we go.
Remember though, you have to pick up the little bag.
This is something I'm seeing waaaaaay too often on the trails that I bring my dog onto. We'll be walking along, and I'll see doggie doo on the ground... IN A BAG!! Yup. Someone actually took the time to bag up said mess, and then decided the proper course of action was to leave it right there on the ground.
This has to be the ultimate in ridiculousness. If you went to all that trouble to bag it, take it with you, genius! I'd love to say this has only happened once or twice. but it's more like it's happening once or twice a month. How can you be this irresponsible and selfish? You've already done the hardest part!

So please, for the love of all that's good in the world, would please, please, PLEASE pick up your bags of dog poop. Or just leave it. Why render said poop non-biodegradable by sticking it in a plastic bag? Think it through, Tough Guy. Just pick up the bag, already...
