Cape Cod Dogs Can Now Share Their Sticks With Community Stick Library

Animal lovers on Cape Cod have begun creating what are being called "dog stick libraries" for their dogs' favorite toy.

Deirde Waxman of Mashpee was on a leisurely stroll around her neighborhood when she came across this and took right to a local Facebook group page to share her excitement.

Many suggested adding some "poop bags" or dog treats to round out this community effort, otherwise it's a big silly. I can't say I don't disagree, but isn't the reason many of us having animals the companionship and the smiles? I don't think these stick libraries are harming anyone.

Holly Tonero of Cape Cod says, "There is one in Barnstable too, not sure where but it is the new rage, popping up everywhere."
