Here in Maine we have a state leash law. Idiot owners can be fined for allowing dogs to run at large.Instead of talking to the owner, you just call a cop.
There is a huge Bluegrass festival here and they ban dogs, bicycles and motorcycles.

I don't understand why the idiot owner doesn't see that no one wants to step in his/her dogs poop, then track it into his 1/2 million dollar motor home.It's like their head is nothing more than a knot to keep their backbone from unraveling.
