Which of these news stories are not true?

Almost All True
Three of these four things really happened, just recently. Are you cynical enough to figure out the made-up story? (a) A zoo in Alaska announced it will build a special treadmill for its overweight elephant to exercise on.
(b) A couple rented out a pornography store in Mannheim, Germany, for their wedding, since they had first met at the store when she rang up his purchases as a cashier.
(c) Surveillance cameras at a London animal shelter revealed that one dog was using his teeth to unlock his cage and those of his pals so they could roam the premises night after night.
(d) Owners of buildings across the street from Chicago's Wrigley Field earned more than $15 million this season charging people to watch Cubs' games from their roofs.
Answer to Almost All True: ?

D: is false...they did/have earn/ed money and have been fighting the Cubs organization over it, maybe even had offers of close to that over the years. But No such amount has been tendered, at least not on one single game or season.
