"There are very few dogs that survive and reproduce successfully away from humans. " What an interesting fact, but then again, most dogs are domesticated these days. And oh, what a great idea about disposing of the poop. I don't know how the logistics would work, but the idea is a sound one. I know for a fact, people will save on having to buy those cute little signs I see all over my neighborhood, BEGGING folks to clean up after their dogs. Given the amount of poop I often see out there, I can believe that statistic about 240 dogs to every 1000 persons in this country. Thanks Tovah :-)
