    Can I see some I.D.?

    Dog given parking ticket

    An Australian traffic warden fixed a parking ticket to a dog's lead after it was 'parked' illegally outside a shopping centre.

    The dog was tied to a fence outside Darwin's Rapid Creek market when it was approached by two city council traffic wardens, the Northern Territory News reports.

    One of the inspectors wrote out a ticket - and taped it to the dog's lead.

    Witness Ray McEvoy said he couldn't believe his eyes.

    "I watched an elderly lady and her very faithful blue heeler roll up at the market. The lady tied the dog to the fence and gave him a bowl full of water. And off she went into the markets," he said.

    "Then two traffic inspectors came along. They had a bit of a talk and, to my amazement, wrote out a warning infringement notice for the dog and taped it to his lead rope."

    Council spokesman Grant Fenton said a dog was considered to be "at large" if the owner was not there.

    "You can't tie up a dog and leave it," he said.

    Well, I know in this day and age I would never leave my dog tied to a fence unattended.
