This Massachusetts City Was Just Named One of the Dog Poop Capitals of the US

Part of having a dog is cleaning up after them. As it turns out, we have a good deal to learn when it comes to this according to a new study. So what parts of the country have the worst dog poop problem? Not the sexiest thing to be pondering but somebody's got to do it and those somebodies are known as the Dog Advisory Council.

They used the metric of how many complaints per 100,000 residents as a good baring to determine which towns/cities have proportionately worse problems with picking up after their pets. One Massachusetts city made the Top 10, crowning it as one of the Dog Poop Capitals of the US. Surely that is not a monicker the local tourism department will want to market around - though I'd order a t-shirt!
