Is your Dog Reading the Province?

I saw this cute little bizarre news tidbit online last night and I was considering posting it to the latest headlines sidebar as a joke. But I couldn't believe my eyes this morning when, there in huge letters was the Province asking, "Is Your Dog on Pot?". Like, they cracked the case or something. Like they stayed up all night uncovering this expose. What's that? 5 more Canadians were injured in our futile Afghan adventure? What's that? The safe injection site will stay open? Manning Park is on fire? A new survey shows Canadians are most concerned about the environment than any other issue? Nope. Your dog is baked.

I mean, how do you even answer that question? Is my dog on pot? Hmmmm. How do I tell? He does appear to be giggling incessantly, playing waaaay too much Playstation, and every second word out of his mouth is "Duuuude". Does it matter? So they get a little lazier, so what? Or are they suggesting that pot is a gateway drug, and next my dog might come home ripped on crystal meth? He might start hanging out with the wrong crowd?

So what happens now? The US drug czar is going to declare a war on dogs? Then pooches everywhere rise up (slowly) and march in the streets yelling, "legalize it"? Better call Tha Dogg Pound.
