7. According to Italian law, if you keep a dog without walking it, you will be fined

The council of Turin, a city in northern Italy, has enacted a local law that sets out specific rules on how pet dogs should be treated. The main idea is that dog owners must not mistreat their canine friends, but must also ensure that they enjoy their lives. Under the rules, dog owners who fail to take their canine friends out for a walk three times a week could be fined 500 euros. Other rules are meticulous, such as that owners must not dye their dog's down for aesthetic reasons or cut the tail hair short. In enforcing the rule, police will rely mainly on reports from informants, who will naturally be rewarded, the local newspaper said.
