You don’t have to own a dog to love dogs. These canines have almost the entire world population gushing about them.

Why wouldn’t the world be completely enchanted by them? They are the best buddies to have around. 

Not to mention their insane health benefits like stress reduction, improved heart rate, and many other things. 

Don’t believe us? Take a few minutes to gloss over a dog’s fur, and when you feel better, you’ll no doubt agree that dogs are superior animals.

However, these furry buddies come with their mess too. For example, the fact that they cannot be potty trained often poses a problem for dog owners.

Usually, their owners have to pack up their feces in a bag and dispose of it themselves. It’s even illegal not to do so. 

In fact, In some places, if you don't have a method of animal poop cleanup on you, it's a violation even to let your pet walk into someone's yard at all.

Despite this, some dog owners fail to take responsibility for this and choose to litter the surroundings instead.

That’s the subject of this story a Redditor shared on the AITA subreddit.

OP shared that he had recently moved into a new neighborhood, and while taking a walk with his dog, he spotted a stranger’s dog taking a dump in someone’s yard.

The dog owner didn’t attempt to clean it up, so OP offered him a poop bag.

However, the dog owner stated that he didn’t need it as, in his words, “poop is allowed in this neighborhood.” 

They got into an argument as a result. This led OP to ask the AITA question.

The Reddit community has to weigh in on this

The story in detail

Here's how the Reddit community reacted:

"Even if you have a dog why would you want to pick up someone else’s dog poo?"

"I damn well do not want to deal with the poop of other people's dogs! NTA"

"What if this was some weird attempt to find out where they live?"

"NTA. You should have gone knocked on the door and asked if it’s true."

"As far as I know, there are no residential areas where residents allow owners to leave the mess behind"

"I'd let the neighbors know (anonymously) who let their dog "do the deed" in their yard"

"I'd have taken his picture standing next to his dog and his dog's poop and let him know that you plan to ask neighbors to confirm his claim"

"NTA no people do not want someone else's dog pooping on their yard"

"In what world would anyone be like 'go ahead and let your dog shit in my yard'.."

"NTA. I refuse to believe that multiple neighbors are okay with this"

"If there is a pick up law - take his photo and turn the a$$ in"

"No, no one is ok with poo in their yard"

"NTA. You're paying the taxes on that yard, you get to say whether or no somebody can allow that"

"No one wants a random dog pooping in their yard even if they allow theirs to"

As a dog owner, you must ensure your dog doesn’t inconvenience other people.

The comments section all agree that the dog owner and not OP is the A$$hole, as owning a dog comes with responsibilities, including cleaning up after your dog.
