High Noon: Disgusting Dog Spoor

On his Facebook wall, OrangeTV writes: "Always interesting to wake up to a random bloody deer head lying in the snow in the middle your front yard. The only clue: dog prints all around -- (no people prints). Purloined from a hunter neighbors trash? ICKY." My niece married the son of a major dairy farmer in central California. They live on the ranch. Regularly, the dogs drag awful things onto her property: gophers, bovine after birth, etc. She didn't mind until one day when they dragged a carcass of a dead calf onto her line. Then, she demanded a fence.

Question: What is the worst thing that a dog -- even your dog -- has dragged onto your property?
