Dog walker stuns Clifton resident as doorbell camera captures her leaving poo

It’s a perpetual hazard of living in Bristol - stepping outside your front door to discover someone’s dog has done its business on your doorstep and it has not been bagged up and taken away.

But when it happened to Dan, a Bristol resident, he thought he’d check his new doorbell camera to see if it had captured the moment in question - and was stunned by what he saw.

The camera did indeed film a small white dog leaving its mark on his doorstep in Clifton, but it’s the actions of the dog walker that left Dan wide-eyed. The woman stops and acknowledges her dog is doing its business, and prepares to do the right thing.

Dressed in a checked jacket and with her glasses firmly hitched up to the top of her head, she reaches into her handbag and pulls out a white dog poo bag, as a couple approach, walking in the middle of the road to give the scene a bit of a wide berth.

With the dog poo bag opened up, and the little pooch having finished, all that’s left is for the woman to bag up the poo and find the nearest bin. But, to Dan’s astonishment, that is not what happened.

The woman appears to turn to check the couple walking past along Princess Victoria Street in Clifton have gone past and aren’t looking back, and then simply walks off, leaving Dan to find the poo on his doorstep the next time he went out.

The incident happened at 5.22pm on Tuesday this week, February 21, and Dan saw the funny side. “I wondered if you could help track down the local Clifton Village Dog Owner in the attached video who evidently chose the wrong doorstep to allow her dog to do its business,” he asked Bristol Live. “It's a pretty funny video and hopefully your readers will be able to identify the Clifton Culprit,” he added.
