If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

    If you compile every signs, here is what they mean..

    Overall: Get an AIBO, not a real dog.. You do not have to worry about anything that is related to all the signs..

    Sign 1: Do not suspend a comb on top of your dog (attracts evil spirits?). If we see lost souls in the vinicity, you're doomed.
    Sign 2: Do not wait for your dog to poop on the floor. Do make a dramatic jump save, with only a tissue, baseball catcher-style. If we spot a dog poop, you'll pay dearly.
    Sign 3: Anyway, if we do spot you with a dog (even a fake one), you're in for a good fine.
    Sign 4: Do not pretend to be safe and party if you can't see this sign (or feign to). Please do not take us for fools or simpletons.
