It turns out that men are not really dogs.
A couple in Quebec apparently decided to test a gap they thought they had discovered in local coronavirus regulations. Unfortunately for them, the authorities do not agree that husbands can be considered “pets”.
Authorities fined a couple in Quebec for breaking the curfew implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authorities spotted the wife leading her husband on a leash last Saturday at around 9 pm in an attempt to circumvent the curfew implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Quebec, residents are allowed to walk their dogs after curfew, as long as they stay close to their homes, reports the BBC.

Apparently, the woman tried to argue that she was taking the dog for a walk when she was approached by the authorities. The excuse allegedly failed to convince officers (apparently men can be trained to use the bathroom and do not require walking in the same way as dogs) and both men and women were fined $ 12,000 for violating the curfew.
The authorities reportedly told a local media outlet that the couple had not cooperated with the police.
The woman also said she did not intend to pay the fine, reports the Insider.
