Axios Boston readers who responded to our survey on doggy bag etiquette had a lot of feelings about the issue.
The verdict: "Trash is trash," as many of you wrote to us, and that means disposing of dog crap at home or in a public bin.
- Nobody copped to leaving poop on the street, which means all you dog owners and walkers are pretty considerate or somebody's lying.
What you're saying: "It's my pup so my responsibility," one reader wrote.
- "Boston is the least dog friendly place I've ever been — probably because so many idiots don't follow leash laws or pick up after their dogs properly."
1 idea for City Hall: "I think dog-dense neighborhoods should have dedicated dog waste bins [and] poop bag stations," one South End resident suggested.
- "The city can pilot this. They have the data from dog licenses."
1 dramatic take: "I am a dog owner and it is unbelievably irresponsible to just leave it.
- "Anyone who does that should look in the mirror and ask themselves why they exist."
1 cat owner (who asked you?): "Dog people are almost as wretched as kid(s) people. Cat people would never!"
1 unhinged take: "Take them home — save them up — use as a space saver next winter"
