SAN FRANCISCO-January 12, 2005 — San Francisco dog owners could find themselves in the doghouse if they don't treat Rover right.
The board of supervisors has passed a new ordinance requiring a certain standard of living for man's best friend. Included are specifics on food, water and even doghouses.
Animal control officers say it was difficult to prosecute pet abusers under the old law, because the standards were too vague.
By law in San Francisco, Fido is considered what's termed a companion dog. And a pet owner is actually a pet guardian.

More like a minimum wage for dogs.
Well, I'm sure these standards don't reach the actual living standards of my pups.
well at least now they will have some standard to go by so some of these idiots that own pets but let them starve or such will not go unpunished.....
Just damn.

My dog eats very well...he gets at least three cats a day...
Can you eat your dog in SF? It seems that such a prohibition would be terribly discriminatory and culturally insensitive. (In Peru, they eat guinea pigs.)
I saw the video of this story on one of the cable networks....a poor dog dug a hole under the pavers on a patio ......a hole.....to get out of the rain.
San Fran board of supes has passed law protecting dogs. Hey,it could be someone's SPOUSE there!-[sarc.(maybe)]
another day, another reason not to live in San Fancissyco! LMAO
I don't know about that, but there are some strange goings on in SF that I would hope the law protects dogs from.
But, I still believe there's a special little corner of hell set aside for people who are cruel to animals and children.
Agree on both counts.
Typical liberals, they care more about animals than people.
I guess you can live where you are now and abuse your dog. At least no the City is protecting a class that cannot take care of themselves as opposed to paying to take care of people who can take care of themselves.
TC Rider's dog would require a few other ammenities.
squeeky toys
plush dog bed
leather sofa for naps
regularly scheduled grooming
those tasty liver treats that come in the little milk cartons
Emma - TC Rider's dog
Does this mean if the dog is a poor companion you can sue the dog for damages?
