A West Auckland dog walker has found her dog rolling in human excrement four times so far this year.
The most recent incident was on Tuesday.
Cara Smith is a dog walker and often takes her dogs for walks out in West Auckland's Riverhead forest.
Smith said each time she came across the droppings it was only "a couple of meters off the track".
Adamant it is human and not animal excrement Smith said "you can definitely tell by the smell and the colour".
