We all know that the newspaper business is in the toilet, but when the it hits a local animal shelter, you know the situation is really bad.
San Francisco's Animal Care & Shelter has been relying on public donations of old newspapers to line the cages of puppies that aren't potty trained yet, but - thanks to digital subscriptions and iPads - the supply of newspaper is, shall we say, pooped out.
Thankfully, the San Francisco Public Library is there to help:
The library had been recycling all of the roughly 2,000 newspapers it went through every month, said Stephen Lee, a library technician.
"We just tossed them. ... We had no other use for them," Lee said.
Animal control will pick up the newspapers about twice a month, and the animals couldn't be more grateful, Zuercher said.
"They are poop machines," he said.
