I saw a seeing eye dog do its business next to the sidewalk near the downtown and I was going to go over and offer to pick it up for the owner, because surely if anyone deserves a free pass for not picking up after their dog it's a blind person, right? Well, she got out a bag and cleaned it up! I later had the chance to ask another blind person with a seeing eye dog about this and he explained how it was done. The dog is trained to stay in one spot while it goes and the owner puts their foot next to the dog's hindquarters, then knows by experience roughly how far to reach with the bag. I was impressed! But even more appalled at the number of sighted people who don't pick up after their dogs. If a blind person can do it, so can they!
