This husband must have a ruff life.

A Canadian woman was caught walking her partner on a leash as if he were a dog, a hilarious but illegal attempt to get around Quebec’s newly imposed curfew to slow the spread of coronavirus, local media reported Monday.

The woman was spotted walking alongside her fake-dog husband in the city of Sherbrook around 9 p.m. Saturday, an hour after the curfew went in effect, according to CTV News. They were each given a $1,500 fine for violating the rules.

The new measures prohibit Quebec residents from leaving their homes between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., but they provide numerous exceptions, including one for dog owners. The order states that “a person who must go out so that his dog can do its business” is allowed to do so within 1 kilometer, or a little more than half a mile, from their home.

Essential workers, students with in-person night classes and anyone heading to a pharmacy or hospital are also excluded.

Police said the Sherbrook couple did not cooperate with officers “at all” and insisted they were following the rules — despite not having a real dog with them. The woman vowed not to pay for the ticket and said she would accumulate them, the Sherbrook Police Department told local newspaper La Tribune.

The fines start at $1,000 and can get as high as $6,000 for repeat offenders.

Besides the couple, whose names have not been released, more than 700 other people were reportedly fined during the first weekend under curfew in Quebec.

FTA: "Quebec Premier François Legault said the goal of the curfew is to prevent people from visiting elderly family members, according to CTV News.

“What we’re targeting with the curfew, and we saw it over the holiday period, is there are far too many people in homes who are going and visiting those who are 65 and over,” he said. “That’s why we put the curfew at 8 p.m. That allows us to reduce the number of private gatherings.”

[Libloather]

Maybe he needed to go.

[GnuThere]

Wow, that was an expensive little stunt.

But he self identified as a dog..... and I know that’s true because my wife calls me a dog all the time 🤣

The airlines refused to allow my emotional-support human to board with me on my flight.

This is the utopia the left wants for all of us.

Fight the fine in court. If a man can identify as a woman with fukl legal protections he can identify as a dog.

Reminds me of an old Charles Addams cartoon of the same thing. Husband on a leash.

If a man can identify as a woman with fukl legal protections

Dude better hope she doesn’t start thinking about neutering.

[SuperLuminal]

Only a matter of time before we see that kind of curfew here in communist America...

[piasa]

Did he agree to the leash if she agreed to the muzzle?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Because, of course, a virus keeps track of the time.

Stupid Fascist offspring of an unwed mother.

[TigersEye]

IOWs the Canadian government hates old people and dogs.

Who is surprised by that?

In Soviet Moscow two KGB officers were walking down the street when they saw a man hurrying along across the street. One officer pulls out his gun and shoots him.

"Why did you shoot that man, Comrade?" asks the first KGB.

"Curfew!"

"But the curfew doesn't start for 15 minutes!"

"I know that man. He lives 20 minutes away from here."
