Dogs Go Diving at City Pool
After spending “the dog days” of summer testing the water quality at D.C. swimming pools, I have decidedly mixed feelings about this footage of neighborhood mascots taking the final dip of the season. Our tests found more than a third of the pools visited were incubating harmful bacteria just like giant Petri dishes.
There’s a definite gross-out factor in letting the doggies in for a dip. Though I’m not quite sure who should be more grossed out - the pooches or the people - particularly given the footage of a happy-go-lucky mutt named Taxi Dog lapping up the pool water. Decide for yourself: We’ve got photos and video courtesy of Wayan Vota and the Petworth Listserv. Thanks Wayan!

My child has gone into these pools. Dog owner losers who think their dog is as valuable as a child should be executed (OK, i mean re-educated or forced to consume dog bacteria and excrrement). Seriously, stop this mess.

Glad you liked the coverage, Christine. I know Taxi Dog sure enjoyed her day!

"fuck the dogs" is like congressman wilson, a rabid dog. Asshole, the pools are closed so they let the dogs have some fun. You are the true loser.
