Rufus picked up a human pile early last Saturday morning, on the local green.I suppose some drunk did it on Friday night. I yelled at Rufus and he was so surprised he dropped it. He then tried to go for the serviettes the low life had used, so it was on with the lead and off we went. I felt ill all morning. Fox poo is a regular, and even though it is foul, human is beyond the pale.
My first Cocker, Josh, had the same foul habit. Our usual place for walks was an area of the New Forest used by holidaymakers and locals in the school holidays. The New Forest enclosures don't have public toilets, so you can imagine what they're like in the summer holiday season especially - and to think the NF National Park people spend their time moaning about dog walkers and what dogs leave behind!
Josh used to eat fox poo as well, not to mention dead animals, especially when well rotted and maggoty. I often wonder why we ever got a second Cocker after our experiences with Josh!
Almost as bad was the donkey leg that my neighbour's Cocker, Arnie, presented her with a couple of years ago. It turned out to be from a stillborn foal but until my friend had found the rest of the body she was convinced that Arnie had killed the foal. What made it worse was that Arnie wouldn't let go of it and my neighbour had to take him home, donkey leg firmly gripped in his mouth, and get her husband to wrestle it off him.
