Yes, its your dog your responsibility.

Believe it or not, failing to pick up after your dog in most countries is illegal. You could face a light fine for the first offence and a heavier fine for every offence after that. Repeat offenders are summoned to a court to face criminal charges.

The reason it's illegal to leave dog faeces lying around is because they are a major health concern. Dog faeces can contain the following bacteria's and parasites:

  • Heartworms
  • Whipworms
  • Hookworms
  • Roundworms
  • Tapeworms
  • Parvo
  • Corona
  • Giardiasis
  • Salmonellosis
  • Cryptosporidiosis
  • Campylobacteriosis

If a child accidently ingests dog waste, they would most likely die from poisoning within an hour. Which is a slow death.

If it's proved your dogs faeces caused the death, you will definitely be sent behind bars.

Owning a dog is a lot more responsibility than most people realise.
