Help me pick up after my dog
This is a confession.
So, I live in Pakistan and less than 1% of pet owners / dog walkers pick up the poo. I feel guilty about it all the time, literally every time my dog takes a shit I'm trying to block the view for others and not make eye contact and just walk away nonchalantly.
Tbh if I picked it up I would get more stares from people. I think ppl generally expect you to take the dog to do their business in empty plots or street corners, not near front gates and walls of homes. But they definitely don't expect you to pick it up, I should pay attention to expressions when I finally do pick it up.
Also, majority of pet dogs have never really walked beyond their home neighbourhoods and only a niche group of dog lovers take their pets around town and on adventures. Most people don't walk the dog themselves, they'll hire someone to do the neighbourhood round.
There's this ideal trendsetter version of myself that effortlessly picks up the poo and rids myself of the embarrassment of leaving mess around. Anyways - ask me questions, share your unsolicited opinion, help me be better.
I lowkey worry it'll be gross af (but know I'll get accustomed to it), and there are no public dustbins in residential areas of Karachi so, what am I supposed to carry a bag of shite around for the 45 min walk? I need both hands many times to control the lead while training my 30Kg Labrador.
