If you were paying attention to the news yesterday (from any source in the city) chances are you saw a piece about a landlord in Burnaby who was so upset about his tenants not picking up their dog poo that he decided to take an interesting step to try to prevent it from happening again. The dude sent everyone in the building who owns a pet a "sample bag" (a ziploc) and demanded that they submit a sample of their dog's poop so that he could get them DNA tested and get to the bottom of the mystery. Tenants were told they'd be evicted if they didn't do it, which is basically illegal, and the press had a field day not only with a buttload of puns in their stories but with the imagery chosen to go along with their features. I've put together a collection of all of it below. Click each image to be taken directly to the story.
These stories were sparked when a tenant let their dog poop in the stairwell of the building, which is obviously way off base. If you're wondering where your dog is allowed to poo in the City of Vancouver, is our recent piece that sheds some light on that.
