Dirty Dogs, Dirty Cop, Dirty Fish Vex City

2007_07_06_dog_look_up.jpgCity Council plans to create as many as 21 new leash-free areas for dogs by the end of the year. Councillor Howard Moscoe calls for fences to separate people and canines, saying, "The problem is the dogs can't read the signs. We'd lose control completely unless they're fenced areas." Alarmed local media dub 2007 "The Summer of the Dog."

24 people, including a Toronto police officer, were arrested yesterday and charged with being part of a major drug trafficking ring after $3 million worth of marijuana was seized. In his defence, the arrested officer said, "Dude, we were just holding it for our friend."

A new report says that smaller fish coming from the Great Lakes are now as toxic as larger fish have been for years, indicating worsening pollution. Reports of giant mutant lake monsters are also up by 30% this year.

In futbol news, Canada was beaten 1–0 by Austria in the FIFA U20 World Cup, and now have to defeat Congo on Sunday to have any shot at the next round. It's too bad this isn't hockey. We could definitely beat Congo at hockey.

Finally, research indicates that cute animal pictures have a positive correlation with increased website readership.

Suddenly, I'm reminded of this thing from The Dark Crystal.

 

Actually he looks a lot like Rocko from Puppets Who Kill.
