   • 2009 June 7, Mireya Navarro, “Fields of Gold? Yes, in a Way”, in New York Times‎:

     But in suburbs of New York and elsewhere, mom and pop operators with a sense of humor (the companies have names like Poop Patrol and ScooperDude and slogans like “We’re No. 1 in the No. 2 business”), have found a market: the super-busy, families with children who play in the yard and homeowner associations with common greenspace or dog runs.
