Having to pick up dog mess is something many people dread doing, but dodging this responsibility is actually breaking the law.
It’s not just because it’s disgusting but the mess left lying around can pose health risks to others. And in Bristol the problem seems to be getting worse in recent months, with social media posts filled with people complaining.
One woman in east Bristol even uploaded her doorbell footage of a man seemingly leaving his dog's mess on the pavement without picking it up.
