A Dog's Life

Pet owners take notice. A condominium in Brooklyn Heights with 440 units also houses 175 dogs some of whom had been relieving themselves in corridors and elevators during winter weather. The problem reached a peak in December so at a two hour meeting of residents it was decided to register all canine occupants with their DNA tested. Future incidents were drastically reduced and the program seemed to work. "There's a shaming aspect, no question."
