Here's a law that only a yuppie could've dreamed up: A Colorado proposal would require all dogs to wear canine life jackets in order to attend pool-equipped doggy daycare facilities. "We have a park with a pool in it, and that means every dog that walks in our park would have to have a life jacket on," James Bertini, owner of Earthdog Denver, told the Daily Camera. "This is extreme overreach with this proposed rule." The proposal's draft language says "every dog must wear a personal flotation device while in or while having access to a pool area whenever the pool water is deeper than the height of the dog at its shoulder" and also stipulates a lifeguard (presumably human) must be present at all times. Now, one could argue this is government overreach. Or a solution in search of a problem. But here's what most irks me about the proposal: Dogs can swim, you idiots! "Dogs are better swimmers than we are, and we don't have rules that require humans to have life jackets," Bertini told the Daily Camera.
