There is a proposal that all dogs in Montreal be Bilingual. If this passes they must respond to commands in French and English.

I was hoping this was an onion article and now I am disappointed to realize it is not.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I love this man.

Hahaha!

That right there is some speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecial thinking.

An individual should be able to home school their pets with out intervention from the Government.

Meanwhile, there's a politician somewhere in America (probably Arizona) trying to require that all dogs should speak English.

Hell most dogs I see don't know any commands.

No, we need to make all public pet schools equal. The problem isn't about what language the pets speak, it's that pets in disadvantaged areas have been undereducated for far too long.

Rover, Allez y!

The wealthy are just as well know for neglecting to teach their dogs to play well with others. They are well fed but socially neglected.

While this is true, I feel that it only goes to support my argument for more equality in how pet schools are funded and run. You can't expect pet owners who overly shelter their pets at home as it is to do a better job by allowing them to keep the pets home all day.

Oh. It's from This Is That. It's a comedy spoof news show.

Damnit! Trolled by Yahoo! "News" again.

I should really become a reporter. You don't have to check facts or sources or anything anymore.[DOUBLEPOST=1355522880][/DOUBLEPOST]I also feel compelled to point out that a dog responds more to body cues and tone of voice than they do to the actual words being said.

It's most sad when things like this are so plausible that we believe it. Quebec language laws fit this exactly, except for it being in Montreal. If it was Quebec City, then I'll be that it'd be hard to persuade people that it wasn't real news, even in face of evidence.
