Dogs in Moscow are ubiquitous, whether they are homeless or housebroken. Those who live on the streets can be found on almost every corner looking for food; those who have owners, like this dachshund near a pond in the Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo region of northern Moscow, have a more leisurely lifestyle.

Moscow estimates the population of stray dogs at about 26,000.

Apparently, "in Soviet times, dogs were barred from Moscow's metro. Today, however, they are so common there -- curling up on empty seats, nuzzling their neighbors, lounging in stations -- that there is even a Web site devoted to them: www.metrodog.ru."

It sounds like an enterprising veterinarian could bring some surgical supplies, set up shop, and make a killing offering low cost spay and neuter services there.
