Beijing has a rule that citizens cannot have dogs bigger than 35 cm tall. This creates a problem for the owners of larger dogs. They actually have to sneak out at night to walk their dogs so that the dog catchers won’t get them. If the dogs are caught by the catchers, they face imminent death. This rule is strictly enforced and so most people have small dogs, or they keep the dogs till they grow up and discard them. This adds to the number of rabid dogs seen running around in the cities. It is really important for the citizens to keep their dogs on a strong harness and leash so that they will not get loose while the owners are at work. The small dogs have no problems and I am sure that many of the pet owners have jeweled dog collars and leashes for their pretty little dogs.
There is an athlete who will be carrying the Olympic torch in Beijing, but is not given permission to take her guide dog with her, because of this ancient rule that they enforce. Surely the officials can be persuaded to get the proper license in time. Guide dogs are so well behaved, and are always in a dog harness
. Maybe it is time for them to realize that people are going to keep the type of dogs they like, but even if they do not approve them for pleasure, one would think that they would allow a Guide dog. The funny thing is that the Diplomats are exempt from this rule and are seen walking their dogs on leashes, in front of the citizens, who have to go out with their dogs at night.
One can coordinate the jeweled dog collars and leashes like this Black velvet & white diamonds dog collar and leash set. It is a beautiful collar made of black velvet with white rhinestone diamonds set in sterling silver plated settings.
