The white dog poop from the seventies.

Ahh no all the dog shit on the ground around our way are dark colours.
they used to put ash in the pet food in america and so the poops would turn white and linger
Ash in the pet food? Did they hate pets? 🐶
In the UK, there's still a small amount of "crude ash" in most cat/dog food - but I guess not as much as there used to be. They also used to use a lot more ground-up-bone and other fillers.
It's not necessarily a hatred of animals, it's just the manufacturers perhaps love money a bit more than they "love" animals, and filling the food with ash and dust and stuff is cheaper.
I think I remember seeing white dog poo in the 80s/90s. It was easier to spot and avoid when walking down a dark ginnel.
No they loved Money. Still do, too.
