One Per Customer

Could you choose just one of these two?

Because we are very interested in international affairs (read: totally and completely unable to focus on work), we just read this article about how lawmakers in Nanjing, China are planning to pass a regulation limiting every household to only 1 (one!) pet dog.

There must be something in the water over there.

Saying that you can only have one dog is like saying "You can only eat one Hershey's Kiss" or "You can only buy those sandals in one color." These people are gravely underestimating the addictive power that those of the canine ilk can have over us. You can't have just one. Well, not for very long anyway.

Also, your 1 (one!) dog is not allowed to be large, or mean. So not fair. What if large and mean is your type? What if you're looking to own the Russell Crowe of Canines? What do you do then?

I'm sure this law does have certain societal benefits, but I'm too much of a fool for four leggers to really have an unbias perspective. Let me know what you think.
