Ten-year-old Jeremiah Carter of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, has been working on a community project to neaten up some of his city’s dog parks. Along with his father, David, he has been constructing wooden boxes to contain the sticks left behind by dogs and their owners. Host Marco Werman tells the story of Jeremiah’s “stick libraries” that have become the talk of Saskatoon as dog owners learn to “take a stick, leave a stick.”
