DEAR ABBY: I was awakened at 3 a.m. by a barking police dog while someone was being arrested on my front lawn. This morning I discovered the dog had pooped on my grass. I'm considering complaining to the police about it, but don't want to seem ungrateful for the job they do. What do you think? -- LISA IN ANAHEIM, CALIF.
DEAR LISA: I think you should be more tolerant. After all, the police dog was just doing his duty.
