who let the dogs out

"The head of Riyadh’s religious police recently complained to city fathers that the “phenomenon” of dog-walking was “becoming more and more acceptable”.

Not only that, added Othman al Othman, it is “being taken advantage of by some young men in a way that conflicts with the rules and regulations of Islam”.

The young men, it seems, were “using cats and dogs to make passes at women and pester families”, Mr Othman told Al Hayat newspaper." - The National, August 10
