Let's make this simple, Dave. There are only two kinds of property:
Yours,
and someone else's. If the dog ****s or destroys things on your property,
that's fine. If the dog leaves your property and ****s/destroys, it's
doing
so on someone else's property. Now, please explain how any dog owner can
see
his dog leave his property and say "I didn't know it was going to mess up
someone else's property".


Ok, if we stick to your binary view of property, you are either on
your property or someone else's. When you leave your property, am I to
assume that you are intending to damage someone else's property?

Don't say stupid things. We're talking about a dog, not a person.


Assuming that a dog owner knows that the dog has left his property
(And many don't), while you may assume that they may mark some
territory along the way, many times they roam just to roam.
You seem to harbor this notion that dogs do nothing but destroy
things. A notion brought about from your hatred of dogs, no doubt.

Right. And nobody would look at a naked lady in the park. Dave...we're
talking about dogs, not cartoons. I have NEVER seen a dog wandering off its
leash without lifting its leg at least once or twice on someone's property.
It's not much of a stretch to assume that if that same dog doesn't **** on
someone's property today, it'll do so tomorrow.

As far the the owner not knowing that the dog left the property, forget that
nonsense. When we finally got a real dog catcher who was good at seeing
through peoples' excuses, I stood and watched as he warned a dog owner NEVER
to try that line on him again. Then, he took her dog away. I went home and
celebrated with a beer.

Incidentally, whatever television judge you base your ideas on would've also
slammed a dog owner for saying "I didn't know....". That's an insult to
anyone's intelligence.


Of course in reality, there are places where property is either public
or government owned. Not all property is private.

Great. So, it's OK for dogs to crap on a public sidewalk, where, if you're
out walking at night, the crap blends in with bits of wet leaves?
Oh..wait...I know your answer: Normal people don't go for walks at night.
