Dog owners in the Italian city of Turin will be fined up to £500 if they do not walk their pets at least three times a day, under a new law from the city's council.
People will also be banned from dyeing their pets' fur or "any form of animal mutilation" for merely aesthetic motives, such as docking dogs' tails, under the law about to be passed in the northern Italian city.
Dogs may be led for walks by people on bicycles, the rules say, "but not in a way that would tire the animal too much".
