Amsterdam Dogs Get Their Own Toilet

<snip>

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch dog owners can soon throw away their pooper-scoopers and plastic bags and instead walk their furry creatures to their very own toilet.

The developer of a new "doggy toilet," a small fenced-in patch of artificial grass, hopes the self-cleaning device will help rid towns of the mess left behind by man's best friend.

The first toilet is being tested in Zaltbommel, a small town in central Netherlands, but the developer has already been approached by government officials from as far away as London.

1. er I invented a "Pee pee pole" that we use in the small city I used

to work for.

It's a patch of decomposed granite that surrounds a fake fire hydrant.

the DG asborbs and drains away all the urine, the dogs love it, and it WAY reduces their peeing on the grass all over the park.

They are bright, pragmatic, & fun-loving.

I can't wait to get back there to see if they have the new
doggie crappers yet.

If any Dutch people are reading this, I hope you have a gezellig day!

Tot ziens,
