I know everyone reading this cleans up after their dog, but others don't.

U.S. Waters Polluted by 10 Million Tons of Dog Poop

The 78 million dogs living in the United States create 10 million tons of feces annually, polluting waterways and posing a threat to public health, according to a pet waste removal service asking Americans to pledge to scoop the poop this Earth Day.

Faces Of The Day

Photographer Seth Casteel captures the joy of underwater dogs:
