Theme Day: a 'NO' sign


It had to be dog related, didn't it? The signs says 'Forbidden to dogs, even on lead.' This was taken on a grass verge near to the swimming pool in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin - RCM adjoins Menton.

Monte Carlo Daily Photo has two NO signs today - one taken in Monte Carlo, of course, but one taken in America (where I'm visiting at the moment) - outside Otterbein College, in Westerville, Ohio. It horrified me. Do take a look.

There are 171 cities throughout the world taking part in today's Theme. Do click here to view thumbnails and see how others have interpreted the theme.

I'm flying from Columbus, Ohio to St. George, Utah (three flights) today so am really sorry but commenting will not be possible. I'll catch up over the next day or so and meanwhile thank everyone who has left a comment.

For a dog lover to find such sign.. I understand it can be quite disturbing..

Now, who would say "no" to that dog's handsome face? I mean, come on... Have a great week in Menton!

Jim said...

It should say no doggies with bad or rude owners.

WOW!!! HAVE A NICE TRIP!

About the sign, we should go there during the night and take it away!!!!!

Halcyon said...

Awww... where will the doggies go to run and play?

Even the dog on the drawing looks sad!!

crittoria said...

Poor doggies. I bet that grassy patch looks inviting too...

Olivier said...

c'est bien ils ont mis le panneau au niveau des chiens ;o).

USelaine said...

Well, at least they respected the canines with a proper illustration instead of a stick figure - very classy.

Oh no! Such a cute illustration too, look at his hopeful face.

En France, qui dit "chien" dit "crotte"... So, I think this sort of sign is necessary.

Keith said...

I could understand a No People sign more than a No Dogs sign. Oh well, Happy Theme Day!

How perfect that you would find a doggy sign! Hope you're having a fun vacation!

Kelly said...

And that patch of grass probably looks so welcoming...

Nice find!

marley said...

Great sign! Dogs better pay attention or else!

brian said...

why did they have to choose a springer spaniel for the face? i guess they wanted the prettiest dog breed =)

It is a great looking sign, but I don't like the message.

Maybe you should bring a cat and let it run wild on the grass. If the police comes, tell them the sign didn't say anything about bringing a cat.
