... Think about it: Let's say I step in
something left my someone's dog. Perhaps it takes me quite a bit of time
to
clean off not only my shoes, but also the floor and carpet in my house.
For
argument's sake, let's call it 4 hours, including the trip to the store
to
rent the carpet shampoo machine. Hasn't the dog owner stolen my time,
not to
mention my money?

I'd agree somewhat, thinking that it's not 100% the dog owners fault if
you track it in. Your shoes do come off, right?

You've never seen me on a day when I get into the garden work trance. I'm a
freight train. There could be a small child splattered on my t-shirt and I
won't notice until I peel it off at the end of the day. :-)
