Definitely must be a reminiscence from the past.
I doubt a dog would ‘survive’ in a time of SOMEONE calls the Police on everything as some areas even try and police cats making their daily rounds.
I wonder if the ‘young whelps’ believe it when their grandfathers and some of the ‘older’ fathers tell tale tales of roaming the streets at night, taking a dump not be constrained with a leash and have to wait while your ‘servant’ cleans up after you...
Think it was Seinfeld that commented about when the Martians finally land and see YOU walking your dog, your dog taking a dump and YOU cleaning it up.
NOW - Just who do YOU think is in charge???
“——police cats making their daily rounds.”

Wow! There are actually police CATS out looking for dogs?
Who knew? :-)
