Yes I am serious you pay because the dog shits on the streets and the city needs to clean it up. It still exists with us, though not in every city since dogowners have to clean up the dogpoop if not a high bill is yours. It is overrated by now but dogowners still pay same for owning and renting a house/apartment/shop or garage. So if you own you pay and if you let someone rent it a/he pays too. 💰
