Dog poo gazers
Why do the owners of dogs on the multi use path have to stare at their dog's butt while it does its business? It seems to happen every time, they go into a their dog poo trance while you are thumbing the heck out of your bell. But its no use, they are deep into the dog poo spell, staring at their dog's rear end. Any body else notice this phsychological phenomenon??

1) If the cyclist is attractive, the dog owner must avert his or her gaze -- otherwise, the older dog owner will be perceived as a perv and the younger dog owner will be perceived as hitting on the cyclist. Therefore, the owner focuses on the dog's butt to avoid giving the wrong impression
2) If the cyclist is unattractive, the dog's butt is more aesthetically pleasing, hence focus is held there
On an aside note, many citizens don't like dogs so owners are expected to be very attentive. Missing a bit because the dog did a squat 'n stroll can lead to dirty shoes and looks as well as fines.

Now this question is worthy of a funded study by Harvard/Brandeis Grey Beards! Perhaps they could get some grad students in "Social Theory" right on it. At least most of today's dog owners pick up after their canine companions.
Well, if you get dog poop on your tires, it's not the worst thing. You know where it came from, you know what it's all about, and you always know where you stand with dog poop.
The worst: Gum on a hot summer day. The pavement gets frylator hot, the gum turns to a liquid state, and Yahhh! You've got it on your tires, getting your day gummed up!!
Sorry, got a little off topic here.

Personally, as a responsible dog owner, I look hard to make sure everything is normal, purely health related you see.
Not buying it?
Ok, fine. I am looking for undigested table scraps from last nights dinner that are suitable for mid-walk snacks.
BTW, concerning a passing cyclist - if she's good looking it would be just plain wrong to look away...I make eye contact, put on a warm smile and maybe even offer her a snack!

Have you ever watched a dog's butt during a dump? Don't knock it till you've tired it.
I watch to make sure I get my steamy new handwarmer wrapped in plastic as soon as possible. I hate to lose track of one and pick up someone else's old cold turd instead.

As a dog owner, I can say I'm normally in a trance/daze whenever walking the doggie.
And...you got to watch where those damn turds go if you are a good person and pick them up.
I am concerned that every thing is coming out all right.

Look. There's nothing ugly about your dog's poop. After all, he's family.
Besides, taking a poo-poo walk might be a dog's chance to get out and sniff, but you know all you care about is getting business over-and-done. A watched pot never boils, but it's still hard not to stare sometimes.
But really, what is anyone doing standing on the path?
