Usually this sort of sign is three feet by five feet, with three inch high black letters on a fluorescent orange background. How's that old expression go -- "Walk softly, and carry a big stick?" Geez, Louise, those must be big dogs!
My mother kept a rottweiler and made sure that only she or my brother or myself fed him. Good theory in principle for a guard dog. She also treated him the way she treated other males - alternated between gurgling sweet nothings and feeding him Mallowpuffs (look those up - theyre a Kiwi icon) and screaming bloody murder at him and kicking him in the arse "just because" all the while telling us how she'd rescued him from a much worse situation.
Pick this little anecdote apart at your leisure ;)
All that said I always liked the signs I saw when I was doing a paper round in my teens - "Never Mind The Dog - BEWARE THE HOUSEHOLDER"
In other words - as Robert Mugabe may or may not be finding right now - never mind the vote - BEWARE THE VOTER.
Under our Westminster System that still means something. I understand in Canada you have a system of Provinces and a central Parliament? Here in NZ that system wasn't efficient - although I have no idea where the fsck it's going now what with Kim Dotcom making friends with everyone in sight and our elected government wanting to line the elite here up with the elite everywhere else.

Politics BLAH.
Beuracracy doesn't like efficiency, and since democracy has been living in sin with beuracracy for some time now ...
