Last time I was in Amsterdam, they were "making progress" in stopping men from pissing in the canals. Dogs Get Their Own Toilet Wed Mar 31, 2:12 PM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch dog owners can soon throw away their pooper-scoopers and plastic bags and instead walk their furry creatures to their very own toilet. The developer of a new "doggy toilet," a small fenced-in patch of artificial grass, hopes the self-cleaning device will help rid towns of the mess left behind by man's best friend. The first toilet is being tested in Zaltbommel, a small town in central Netherlands, but the developer has already been approached by government officials from as far away as London. "This is only a pilot program, but we hope to roll out 200 to 300 of these toilets in one year," Hans van de Pos, who has patented the device, told Reuters Tuesday.
