Can't say I've ever seen a dog warden.
We had a pair of Rotties years ago. They were the softest, daftest, most affectionate dogs you could come across. Daisy used to hurtle towards total strangers who visited my Dads yard, flip onto her back mid air and skid to a halt with her paws in the air waiting to have her tummy tickled. - Or she'd sit on your feet and head butt you til you smoothed her. Casper was massive. He used to put his paws on my shoulders and look down at me and I'm 5ft 8! But if you raised your voice to him, he'd put his paws over his head and cry! Yes, they could look scary. - the new BT man took one look and cleared a five bar gate! But when you've seen a dog as big as a pony sitting in a swivelling office chair so he can look out the window, crying coz he can't figure out how to get down, then getting back up again five minutes later and crying again when he gets stuck again - again and again and again! It's kind of hard to see them as anything other than daft as a brush!
I've seen people out with scary dogs. It's the owners who make the dogs scary. If someone turns a dog into a snarling fashion accessory, I shouldn't imagine they're going to care enough to pick up after them. It makes me really sad.
