Netizens saw another side of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg besides the geeky looking CEO in grey T-shirts when he posted photos of Beast, a Hungarian sheepdog that looks like a mophead.
Beast remains a part of Zuckerberg’s family, made up of Mark, wife Priscilla and newborn daughter Max. Like the Zuckerbergs, owning a family dog is a tradition in many families in the U.S., as American as celebrating Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.
However, the fun side of owning a cute family dog ends when the pet poops all over the yard or inside the house. To ensure that he would never pick the dog’s droppings, a father drafted a contract with his kids. The contract has gone viral, reported Scary Mommy.
Number 1 on the 13-point contract is “Dad never has to pick up dog poop. Ever. The dog’s poop is picked up at least 3x per week by children to Dad’s satisfaction.” However, to make things easier for the family, dad specified the dog must be well-trained to poop in the side yard.
The contract specified a target maximum weight for the dog of 15 pounds. Besides poop, the father hates also picking up pooch hair, so he stressed the pet must not shed at all, nor slobber and have runny nose dripping all over the house.
Reddit user rjohnstoner13 posted the contract on Reddit. Other don’ts include scratching the floor. Dad also would never give the pet dog a bath, has veto power in naming the dog, the animal would not be considered a child or sibling and is excluded in Christmas family photos.
According to ASPCA, 37 to 47 percent of U.S. households own a dog, which translates into about 70 to 80 million dogs.
Life for the kids would also be easier when it comes to picking up their pet’s droppings if they use the Magic Poop Collector.
