#15 Of The Weirdest Laws About Dogs That Are Still Legal In The U. S.

Tasmai Uppin

As pup parents, it s always important to stay informed. Your pup looks to you for guidance and knowledge, so the more you know, the better for your pooch. And while there are those basic, mundane, Did you know? things, we decided to up the ante on the weird and wacky. So here s a list of the strangest laws regarding doges in the U.S. Some of these will make you go, Whaaaaaaaaaat? and some will make your jaw drop from disbelief.

1. You cannot tie your pet dog to the roof of a car in Anchorage, Alaska.

I wonder why this basic nugget of common sensical truth had to be a law. Someone somewhere is responsible for this.

2. In Little Rock, Arkansas, dogs are not allowed to bark after 6 PM.

While excessive barking might be a problem, who are we to impose such a law on these poor pooches? It s like asking humans to stop talking after 6PM.

3. No dog is allowed to be in a public place without its master on a leash in Belvedere, California.

This is actually a law. Someone was messin with the rules and they did a pretty brilliant job of sneaking this gem in.

4. In Denver, Colorado, the dog catcher must notify dogs of impounding by posting (for three consecutive days) a notice on a tree in the city park and along a public road through said park to make sure dogs don t miss the notice.

Looks like Colorado dogs read at a 7th grade level.
