Montreal bylaw; dogs understand commands in both official languages

Buddy sent me this...good for a laugh.

Earlier this week, Montreal city councilor Benoit LaDouce proposed a bylaw that would require all dogs in public parks to be bi-lingual. According to Mr. LaDouce, "Dogs parks in our city are chaotic and communication is at the heart of the conflict." In his mind, K9/citizen relations would be more harmonious if dogs in public spaces understood commands in both English and French.

P.S. take note, this was back in 2012 and was done as a radio spoof...

LOL, I guess I'll stay off the island (or at least walk my dog off the island) next time I'm visiting. All she knows is "tabernac!".:silly:

Some of the comments are pretty funny!

That's hilarious. What an absolute moron.

I wouldn't put it past them! Actually, no, this spoof is not quite accurate. To be accurate, the bylaw would require all dogs to understand French - they don't care about English.

...Touché. :)

Mine are quad-lingual (I'm sure that's not a word) -- English, French, sign, dog

I think this is an excellent idea but why stop at French and English? China is a force today in world economy. We need to include them and Spanish/Mexican (now that US cars are built there). Now this to me, is four-word thinking!

Only good show on cbc! You should hear some of the morontonians that call in in outright rage lol!

I teach my dogs to respond in french. Le woof !

First hot dogs, now dogs...
