Your dog simply gets its own passport

Now the animal friend lets out a sigh of relief, because it would be about time. Your faithful four-legged friend has been active on Instagram for years, so that own passport is long overdue.

Minister Carola Schouten of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality is launching today the intention to only allow dogs with a passport to frolic in 2020. This is to combat the animal trade in our country. A noble message on World Animal Day, we think.

The passport states the origin of the dog, the medical history, and who the heck it belonged to before. But: will there perhaps also be a passport photo? Where your four-legged friend of course first has to go to the grooming salon to curl every hair? Designer collar on. Oh, now we are just waiting for the citizen service number, which would complete the whole animal affair.
