Agreed. Round us the biggest "boundary-pushers" seem to be dog walkers for whom the concept of "social distancing" seems to be about 50cm. We've both made a promise to go nowhere near anyone who owns a dog for the rest of the year at least, the majority just don't seem to give a damn! 
I do have one exception, but that's a friend who I know is following the rules religiously and sadly acquired a new puppy recently that turned out to be totally blind. Managed to rehome it to someone who looks after similarly-disabled pooches. He and his partner are gardeners mainly so taking a dog around with them all day is not a problem, but a blind one would be.
