100% is a big achievement in street dog unavailability - much harder than, say, 99.999%. In k-nines (un)availability, the cost usually increases by 10 * k to increment k by 1.

It's tempting to imagine that they didn't actually get to 100%, and there are some hidden holdouts who have escaped the program and will re-establish the street dog population covertly.

Yeah I'm not sure how they would even know if it's 100% vs 99.999%
> k-nines

Intentional pun? :)

Ssh we're not supposed to make jokes here.
Don't let me interupt.
