Summary
A Philadelphia man set up a “pug petting zoo” outside a Wawa convenience store, charging $10 for people to pet his dog and receive a custom poem. A police officer showed up and asked him to leave, citing that Wawa didn’t want him there and he couldn’t be soliciting on private property. The man claimed he had a permit, but the officer said it was still private property and he could be faced with a trespassing violation. The man packed up and left, but not before offering to write a poem for the officer, who declined.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Pug petting zoo: because who doesn’t want to pay $10 to pet a dog and get a poem? The creator’s business model sounds like a joke, but he’s serious. He’s even got a permit… or so he claims. The cop shows up, and it’s not exactly a dramatic showdown, but it’s enough to shut down the operation. The creator tries to convince the cop to let him stay, but it’s not happening. He packs up and leaves, but not before offering to write a poem for the officer. Because, priorities.
The pug petting zoo: where poetry meets puppy love, and the law meets… well, not quite.
