in NYC i see people letting their dogs pee on the sidewalk on walls on shoes etc.. i personally find the experience of watching an animal pee icky.

so this idea is meant to improve the environment and reward reward the doggies with a compelling experience.

This is the fire hydrant casino style, armed with a pee-pee sensor, flashing lights an audio system and some delicious treats. When the Celebration Hydrant gets wet from dog pee (or liquid excrement generic because i am sure some humans will want to use it too) The Hydrant will go off like a slot machine, every dog will be a winner, everyone will be a winner no more puddles of dog pee sliming down the sidewalk.

What happens when it's raining ?

i'm not sure? maybe an umbrella can deploy. Maybe it can have sufficient logic that it can tell the difference between rain and pee?

just need a PH sensors for that I spose.

so basically it's a designated Pee-stick? wouldn't it be cheaper just to plant more trees?

I think the flashing lights and sounds would make sure no dog gives a repeat performance.

As indeed would a modest applied voltage.
