Gross Question for the New Year!

Here's another good question that's come up: Do seeing-eye dogs poop in public?

My family used to train Guide Dogs for the Blind, and yet I don’t know the answer! In fact, I have never seen ANY service dog pooping in public. So do the dogs hold it until breaktime? 

And when it’s time to go, does a seeing-eye dog guide its blind master to a lawn? If so, does its master understand what’s going on, and somehow pick up the poop?

Good questions all. And good dogs, too!
