Dogs & Their Poop Are Everywhere. We Have Complaints!
We’re getting ready for the big Eagles parade tomorrow (check out Hey Philly for the latest logistics on that) so we’re re-airing an episode from late last year about dogs. Because: What’s up with all the dog poop around the city? And what’s up with the dogs in CVS? Host Trenae Nuri speaks with Shaunice Ajiwe, associate editor at Philadelphia Magazine, about her recent article How Did Philly Dog Culture Get So Out of Control? They discuss Philly’s dog culture, why dogs are in our stores, and how pooches, pups, and dog owners can live harmoniously in Philly.
Do you have some thoughts on the dogs? Call or text us at 215-259-8170
