Thanks to The Agitator for pointing out this news tidbit from Germany (where else?):

A German artist has applied for a license to open a brothel in Berlin for sexually frustrated dogs and says it will be the first of its kind anywhere.

Karl-Friedrich Lenze, 54, said he planned to charge dog owners $27 per half hour of happiness.

"If dogs can't get what they want, they get cranky — just like people," Lenze told Reuters.

The establishment would offer patrons a variety of carefully vetted "employees" of both sexes, rooms for private encounters and even a "bar" where customers could sniff out their preferred partners.

Whatever happened to just letting two dogs "play" in a field somewhere together for a while? But on a more realistic note... how are they handling issues like pregnancy? I say this because if you neuter or spay your pet (which you should do), then being sex starved is not an issue that you have to deal with. "Fixing" your pet takes away the sex drive (among other things). So if your dog needs a brothel, then both puppy partners are obviously not fixed or it wouldn't be very successful. Are they going to require canine condoms? Is there such a thing? Or is this just a cheap way to make a puppy mill?

You know... you just can't make this stuff up.
