Spotted in the Avondale neighborhood, just a little bit south and a smidge west of Belmont and Kedzie Avenues: an adorable reminder to dog owners to pick up after their little charges, lest Chicago start to resemble Paris after the inevitable (we hope, anyway) winter thaw.

Speaking of reminders: negligent dog owners who don't pick up after their dogs face a $50 to $500 fine for not doing so, and it's easier than ever to determine who is picking up and who isn't.

You don't want to potentially ruin parks, do you?
