h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Some of my mates say its because of more charcoal in dog food, or it gets cleaned up too quickly? Anyone know what happened to white dog poo?

Nope.

I seem to remember it might have had to do with something they either started put *into* or else took *out* of dog food.

But that's most likely an Urban Legend.

My dog only does white poo when he's had a big meaty bone. So not very often luckily.

It sometimes turns white when it dries out. It's been very wet lately so maybe that's why you haven't seen any. Where have you been looking for it? If you haven't seen it on footpaths and in the park, maybe people are doing the right thing: bagging it and binning it.

i once saw some white dog poo.

I think I saw some on my way home from the supermarket today.

don't see much dog poo any more thanks to those handy little plastic bags and special bins

In order to keep the streets clean I have been reduced to a life of petty pilfering... ie stealing carrier bags from supermarkets!

A kind of turd crusader?

Is that for your own dog or for just any dog mess?

And it's terribly bad for the enviroment you know, carrier bags. But I use them too when I have to. Although when desperate I've used plastic coffee cups, toilet roll, toilet roll tubes, and even kicking it into the gutter.

I have it on very good authority that white dog poo only comes from poodles. Absolutely irrefutable. Absolutely. End of the matter.

Get a grip Mr Pink-Paisley. Everyone knows it's only the Queen's Royal dogs who can poo white. That's why her majesty has Corgis. Gawd bless 'er!

What? You mean those little b*gg*rs that the queen has got aren't poodles? Damn.

i thought it was just the really ill ones.

Fact for the day ... In Paris they used to have such a problem with dog poo on the streets that they've created a legion of dog poo collectors who zoom around on motorcycles (fetchingly called Kakawazakis ) sucking up all the poo they can find with a huge hoover type thing.

The amount of poo collected is astronomical - can't remember what the exact figure is but it is unbelievable ... guess this explains the reason for no white poo on the streets of Paris but as for everywhere else ... je ne sais pas

When i see dog owner alowing their dogs to s**t in the park or on the street, i like to follow them home and put it through their letter box. Sometimes with a note saying, "i think you dropped this".
