After the cute dog was banned from the local library, staff thought up an Amazing way to 'hire' her

Image
Quaker, a 3-year-old German shepherd, used to go to the library with her owner, Greg Quinn. Both live in Westport, New Zealand, and frequented in the city library on their outing, ever since she was a puppy, with a fiery complaint. As Quinn told New Zealand Radio News, she grew up in a very calm and happy environment as Quinn read the daily newspaper and National Geographic, with Quaker often being lulled peacefully listening to the kids read. That all came to an end, however, as Quakers grow  bigger than a puppy, someone recorded a complaint with the local animals control about a German shepherd hanging out at the public library, although there was no official policy about dogs in the library and other visitors were often seen with smaller dogs in baskets and carriers. "Our cover was blown, and I was very upset, just like the others," Quinn said. As dear as Quaker was, it seems the library staff decided to respond to the problem and came up with the idea of adopting...

Bizarre Dog Laws

Image
Responsible dog owners are conscious of the most important and common laws regarding animals in their area. They also know the convention and tend to make an effort not to let their dog get into anyone else’s way. But some municipal, state and federal laws really take the cake when it comes to deciding what is and is not appropriate and acceptable behavior in relation to dogs. In Turin, Italy, all dog owners take their dog-walking responsibility seriously, because if they do not, they will have to pay a fine. So, if you don’t want to pay some serious cash, you'd better take your dog out at least three times a day, every day, regardless of breed. In another place, the one-child policy is also in effect for dogs. In Shanghai, China, no one can have more than one dog as a pet at a time. For this reason, all puppies born to your dog must be given away from the age of three months, and of course, the new owner can’t already have a dog of his own. Kubla Khan would not do well under thi...
