really? Big fines in Australian cities if you don't pick up your dog poo.

Aliens watching would assume Dogs are the masters - humans follow them around and pick up the poo.

Are they well stocked, too? We've got plenty of those around Paris, especially close to parks and green squares. They often look empty. And in any case, people don't seem to have their own bags either.

I don't have hard numbers, but it's generally a good idea to look where you step on the sidewalks. Although it's true that subjectively it seems somewhat better than a 5-10 years ago.

yes, well stocked (just checked 3 different ones today).
It looks like problem! I'm going to create «Rumba for dog poo» startup!
Try googling that and you will see it already exists but probably not in the way you imagined.
maybe the humans are parasites on the dogs, although seeing the humans throw out the poop later would certainly complicate the graph of life the aliens were developing for our planet.
