Oct 19Some stories in life seem very strange but are true nevertheless.
Pole in the Dog House ~
In January, Zdzislaw Bukarowcz, a seventy-five year old Polish man from Scinawa, lived in a dog’s kennel for three weeks. It was all the work of his zona*, Mrs Bukarowcz, her reason for dishing out this punishment was because Zdzislaw repeatedly came home drunk.
She chained him to the kennel and fed him on dog food; Zdzislaw was given water from a dog bowl. At night the temperatures often dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Pani* Bukarowcz told reporters that she was sick of him wasting all their money on vodka. His drinking companions, worried by his non-attendance in the pub, eventually freed him from his imprisonment and called the police.
* Zona is Polish for wife. Pani means Mrs.
Politician in the Doghouse ~
A would-be mayor in Bacau, eastern Romania is in the 'dog house' after turning packs of stray dogs into living billboards advertising his intention to stand in the mayoral election. Puzzled voters found their streets flooded with dogs; all wearing posters saying 'Vote for Radu Nicolau' on their backs.
The idea has angered local animal rights groups but the dogged Nicolau is unrepentant, and is quoted as saying, 'It's the best way to get my message across. I love dogs and they can spread the word about my campaign to lots of places quicker than me and my campaign team could.'
