REYKJAVIK, Iceland -- Fairbanks has one of the world's highest dog per capita ratios, but not every community is as accepting of canine companions. In Reykjavik, Iceland, having a pet dog was forbidden until just 20 years ago. Last weekend hundreds of people and pups took to the streets there to fight for dog rights. KUAC's Libby Casey reports on the hidden world of Icelandic dog owners.
