No More Doggies in the Window
by TChris
Remember: if any little thing bothers you in life, no matter how silly, just ask your government to make it illegal. Much of the time, your government will oblige.
The city council in Gaston, North Carolina passed an ordinance prohibiting dogs in store windows -- unless the store is a pet shop. The ordinance is targeted at Clint Baucom, a bail bondsman who keeps his two dogs in his storefront office.
Baucom says his dogs give his office a sense of protection, and he's able to better care for them at the store given his round-the-clock business hours.
But, because others think the dogs are "ugly" and don't portray the "positive image" that Gaston desires, Baucom's dogs can no longer lounge around in a room with a view.
