This is another fine contribution by my friend Chandler, who recently spent an extended weekend in Victoria, B.C. (here are her sketches from the Butchart Gardens — which are, by the way, leashed-pet-friendly, all except for the fireworks show). She found this sign “just across the Blue Bridge,” and it’s…well, it’s very British:

What a superbly neutral word “deposits” is.

The sign itself doesn’t include an image, but there’s one just above it, of a strangely misshapen dog, straining horribly — and, as yet, fruitlessly — to produce a deposit.

Thank you, Chandler, for keeping us in mind, and for giving me yet another reason, aside from the pickle boats, the third floor of the Royal British Columbia Museum, and Munro’s Books, to adore Victoria. I’m adding this post to Dog Jaunt’s scoop law sign collection — to see others, click on the “scoop law” tag below this post, or type “scoop law” in the search bone.
