A Dog's Breakfast
Dog may be man's best friend, but Toronto is no friend of canines. If it's not a ban on pit-bulls that's forcing a woman to hire a lawyer to prove that her dog is innocent until proven guilty, it's the emergence of a forerunner in an outbreak of rabies. From the National Post,

Whoever sold those puppies should be ashamed of themselves! Obviously they weren't well cared for, and to be sold as wares at a Flea Market!? This is one of the reasons Vendors' Toronto Flea Market is a much better choice. http://vendorsflea-jewellerymarket.com/ the owner is an animal advocate, and would never allow this to take place at his flea market.
