Abstract
You remember the times when, walking the streets, we regularly had to watch the ground in order not to march into what a dog might have left on the sidewalk? Many cities enacted regulations providing for fines or other punishment to deter careless dog owners. Nowadays, streets are clean, even in countries where the problem used to be a real nuisance. It was the invention of small plastic sacks that allowed dog owners to collect from the ground whatever their darling had left over. No other feasible measure might have achieved such success, at least not at acceptable costs.
