For one, these things are usually he-said/she-said sorts of things - unless Barth had a picture of the woman, or witnesses who SAW her step onto the property.
Out of curiosity though, how many people feel it is inappropriate to let your dog walk on/along the first few feet of someone's grassy property, PROVIDED you cleanup poop? (Can't do much about pee, except maybe not allow them to pee...)
When I lived in Maine, I allowed it (always cleaned up poop). Grass grows easily there though, so I never thought anyone would mind (leaving poop is another matter - I HATED it when my neighbors left poop in my yard)...
But then, I never had a specific request to NOT do so that I blatantly ignored either... |
When I walk Gracie I allow her to use the grass between the curb and sidewalk and of course clean up behind her. In our neighborhood there isn't any other place for the dogs to go so it's really the only option. If we had a special dog walking area I would use that. Everyone is pretty good about cleaning up behind their dogs where I live, thank goodness.
