CONCORD — Dog owners, you’ve all felt the stares, the shame, the blame at some point — standing off to the side (hopefully downwind) as your furry best friend makes a natural contribution to the environment.

It has become ingrained in our polite society that we pick up what our canines put down, that we “scoop the poop,” if you will. If you don’t have that bag out ready to go, you might see some side eyes, and if you dare to walk away without it those eyes would likely be burning holes in the back of your head.
