People online divided over petty dog poop situation in North Vancouver

Mar 21 2024, 5:03 pm

As a common courtesy to all walkers, dog owners tend to pick up their pets’ litter when they take them out for a nice stroll. Of course, that isn’t always the case.

A photo circulating a North Vancouver Reddit page showed that one frustrated person decided to make a point when they saw someone’s furry friend’s little brown lumps. Using a stick and a piece of paper, someone wrote, “To the golden lab, I think this is yours. Ask your owner to pick it up.”

Needless to say, people on Reddit immediately started debating which was worse — the poop or the note?

Other people showed their support for the note, too, saying how it acts as a warning to other walkers that “sh*t” is on the path.

Another person simply shared that the note isn’t really a big deal, writing, “It’s paper and a stick.”

Not everyone supported the frustrated note writer, however. The thread’s most upvoted comment was a sarcastic dig, making fun of the person for writing a note to a dog.

“This is not a very effective approach. My understanding is that the literacy rate for golden labs is hovering around 0%,” the user wrote.

But sarcasm wasn’t the only reply against the note. Others said the note isn’t likely to do much as they’re just not particularly likely to “read a note stuck in dogsh*t.”
