Human: There is a park behind my house. The park is literally my backyard. It is beautiful and open. The parks walking trail is a few feet away from the property line. It's a nice street I live on. There is one guy who walks his dog along the trail and I think his dog is the one who occasionally defecates in my yard. It's not a big deal and I am trying to not be such an angry guy. He walks the dog about the same time most days. If I catch them in the act what should I do? How should I approach that?

Assistant: 
Here are a few things you can do:
First, I’d say that I’m glad to hear you’re thinking about taking an empathetic approach, rather than getting too angry. And also I really hope that the dog isn’t suffering from any health issues, such as parasites or food sensitivities.
