Bedeutung
Pet care.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'opruimplicht' is taken very seriously. If you don't have a poop bag with you, you can be fined, even if your dog hasn't done anything yet. In Belgium, people often say 'met de hond gaan wandelen' more frequently than 'de hond uitlaten', though both are understood. Many cities have 'hondenspeelplaatsen' (dog playgrounds) where dogs can run free. These are the social hubs of the 'uitlaat' world. It is common to ask 'Is het een mannetje of een vrouwtje?' (Is it a male or a female?) when two dogs meet during their walk.
