Marmora Man Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 The Crimean Quadrant (Marmora, Therapia, Scutari & Mundania) is currently plagued by a dog walker & dog that do not observe the accepted courtesies of owning a dog - leaving piles of dog c*** along the pavements of all four roads. This has all occurred in the last three months - so believe it is someone that has moved in recently, not a long term resident of the area.I've watched and lurked and eyeballed at different times of day and night but still failed to identify the recalcitrant owner or dog. Others are also on the lookout. The council is aware of the problem but extra signs and "bag it & bin it" pavement stencils have had no effect - what else can be done?

jumpinjackflash Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Marmora Man, I used to live on Marmora road too (moved out in '06). There was a guy in his fifties/sixties with a Jack Russell (always yapping) and he used to let it crap everywhere, I know this as I have a dog and used to see him do it all the time when out walking with mine. He never took it to the park, just used to walk it locally, probably why the surrounding streets are full of his poo. Not saying that it's him but it's a possibility - you probably know exactly who this character is anyway!

jocelyn Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I know the guy you mean but he always seem really friendly and the dog is so cute called Bobby I think. Even so not seen the dog poop/the man clear it up before though. It's not something I look out for though!

Drxyster Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I live on Therapia Road and agree with "Marmora Man" at least once a week I have to shovel dog crap from outside the front of my home and deposit in the bin.It's a bl**dy nuisance.

Marmora Man Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks all.Old man and Jack Russell ruled out as the major culprit. I've tried the community wardens with no effect.Will keep looking out at odd times - so far this week has been OK since my last clean up on Saturday.

lozzyloz Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 We had a similar problem on our neighbourhood pavements. After many frustrating attempts at trying to apprehend the nasty owner and canine partner in crime, someone suggested going to poochy-poop-match.com. You simply take a picture of the fresh steaming dog turd, type in the characteristics (weight, shape and colour) and it gives you 3 possible breed matches including size and age. We were able to find the perpetrator within 24 hours and rub his nose in it. poochy-poop-match.com Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2939-what-to-do-about-a-non-pooper-scooper/#findComment-91191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
susyp Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 yes as on earlier post i've seen this guy too. but maybe someone else inconsiderate has moved in so now we have double the trouble. it is absolutely disgusting along the road now and down forest hill road.

jocelyn Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Spotted - a few times this week bunch of kids wandering around Forest Hill Road area every night about 6 ish with black pit bull looking dog. I'll see whether this may be the culprit!

Mark Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I like the idea of a dog licence which includes details of its DNA. Any pooh that's found is tested and the owner fined (plus they pay the cost of the testing). I wonder if Seanmlow has a dog? ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2939-what-to-do-about-a-non-pooper-scooper/#findComment-91332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmlow Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 find out where he/she lives. Put the shite in a paper bag, set it on fire, and post it. That way he will have to stamp it out with force, splattering poo all over his house.

Allison Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have a dog and I get quite incensed when I see dog waste everywhere - please note this small irresponsible minority who let their dogs cr*p everywhere would hit the roof if they stepped in someone elses...Anyway, this may sound bizarre but what the hell, get some chalk and the next time you see it, chalk around the offending turds and write, CLEAN THIS UP! on the pavement. It may be just enough to shock and embarrass the person...Admittedly people might think you're a bit odd but something needs to be done!

seanmlow Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 It is terrible though!
