An excellent reason never to leave your dog unattended
Darwin City Council traffic wardens book dog for parking A DOG has been booked for illegal parking. The blue heeler was tied to a fence outside Rapid Creek Market when it was approached by two Darwin City Council traffic wardens. One of the inspectors wrote out a ticket – and taped it to the dog's lead. Witness Ray McEvoy said he couldn't believe his eyes. "I watched an elderly lady and her very faithful blue heeler roll up at the market," he said. "The lady tied the dog to the fence and gave him a bowl full of water. "And off she went into the markets. "Then two traffic inspectors came along. They had a bit of a talk and, to my amazement, wrote out a warning infringement notice for the dog and taped it to his lead rope." Mr McEvoy said the dog was tied to a fence well away from the foodstalls. "It was on a path rarely used," he said. "And the owner made sure the dog was in the shade. "It wasn't in distress at all. In fact, it was the most placid blue heeler I've seen in my life." Mr McEvoy, who runs a commercial cleaning business, said the booking caused quite a stir. The dog owner was last seen marching off in pursuit of the parking inspectors. Council spokesman Grant Fenton said a dog was considered to be "at large" if the owner was not there. "You can't tie up a dog and leave it," he said. |

Mmmmmmm 
Lots of people leave their dogs tied up under the veranda out the front of my local supermarket. I wonder if its illegal?  |
Geez, isn't that a citation to make you feel proud of yourself  |
| I agree with you. It's a small miracle that the dog was still there when the woman came to claim him. With all the predators out there leaving an animal unattended is a very big risk to take, with no good reason for it. |
That made the newspaper here this morning, I just laughed, revenue raising me thinks. 
Whats next with fines, ooops baby pusher illegally parked etc etc |

Yes we can. We can judge whatever I want. That's the beauty part of judging. There's nothing to judge here anyway. No matter where you are, it's funny to put a parking ticket on a dog. |
