OMG, some people are such pigs. Even on leash, if I'm walking past animal poop that I didn't realize was there, one of mine will go for it like a heat seeking missile. Sometimes "leave it!!!" will work, other times I'm holding her mouth open hoping I can shake it out and not have to reach in to get whatever it is out. I can see mine smashing the muzzle down into the poop if they thought they could still get to it. Makes me a little nauseated to even think about it.
