If she'd have acted threatened the dogs would have kept the city park rangers away. LOL

Dogs shed hair constantly. Are they guilty of littering as they walk around in public.

i'm not a dog owner.  not an animal lover at all, unless it's cooked in front of me with some vegetables!!  but, leaving a ball of fur is MUCH different than the pile of crap some animals leave.  the other day i was at my son's soccer game, there are several signs all around saying no dogs allowed.  but there's always someone......

i was watching a lady with an older lab.  She's sitting in a chair on her cell phone jabbering away, while her dog is arching his  back, squirting (not dumping) a load!!  I watch in horror as she is completely oblivious to the situation!!  I turn to the guy next to me and say; "that's exactly why dogs aren't allowed on the soccer park".  Think of it, children play on that grass, and you have your dog use it as a toilet.  Soon after this lady's dog was done, three little kids came by playing with a soccer ball, and wouldn't you know it, they were right were that dog did it's business. 

a ball of dog fur isn't that big of a deal, I guess, unless you're allergic to dogs, then it's a problem (not life threatening, but an annoying problem).  Having your child playing in the grass, and they come across dog crap, that's just plain disgusting.

I don't believe its just the English, much of the world has gone crazy.
