Incites the entire neighborhood of dogs to start barking, either simultaneously or through a chain reaction. 8PM? Sure. 10PM? Asshole. 2AM? Dead asshole. Rest of the neighborhood should get their dogs under control. Isn't the walking owners fault the rest are spazzes. If I had a dog (and no kids, I'd definitely walk him well after 10pm). Your disdain should be at the other idiots who can't keep their dogs under control, not the guy who is actually being a nice owner and walking his. Perhaps if the others actually walked theirs they wouldn't be all pent up. Most of the disdain is at the owner primarily because he chooses to walk his dog not on the street, far enough away that most of the neighborhood dogs won't be alarmed, but across people's lawns so that it can shit and piss on everything without picking it up. We've dealt with his sorry ass before. Doing it at 10:30 PM? You're just asking for that kneecapping.
