Letter to dvm360: Bo Brock column about dog poop was in poor taste

I have just finished reading this disgusting article in the August issue of dvm360 by Dr. Bo Brock detailing the 32.5-inch dog turd. I have practiced since 1982, starting with two years of mixed practice and the past 31 years in small animal practice. I have enjoyed reading the often-funny writings of Drs. Obenski, Miller and even James Herriot. Often some matter of excrement was involved in the story, but it was tastefully woven into the story. Dr. Brock's article is just gross. I suggest a fault in his judgment as well as that of the editorial staff. I find this article offensive and embarrassing. Please pay more attention to editing and find a different writer.
