I AM the proud owner of a Wire Haired Fox Terrier. Whenever I take him out I also take with me a supply of plastic bags with which to pick up any mess he might make. On numerous occasions, when picking up the aforementioned mess, I have been subjected to comments such as "Oh, yuk! look at her", as well as other less polite remarks.

Needless to say I shall continue to clean up after my dog, but it would seem that there are some individuals who would prefer to scrape it off their shoe.
