I too am "guilty" of improving the lives of chained dogs and will continue to help them until my dying days

I'm so glad to see this thread on chained dogs. I'm including this information in a binder which will also include visuals of chained dogs, Vancouver municipality bylaws currently in place thanks to AAS, ordinances in place in various municipalities in the US, letters of support from veterinarians, dog behaviourists and the Alberta SPCA (provincial) and any other appropriate information, which I will present to City Council in both St. Albert and Edmonton here in Alberta. Hopefully some of these stories will touch the hearts of our elected representatives sufficiently enough that council members will consider passing laws banning permanent chaining and use of junkyard dogs ...

I too am "guilty" of improving the lives of chained dogs and will continue to help them until my dying days. My own starved and chained rottie-retriever Buddy, now 15 years old, has never forgotten his life at the end of a chain and it is because of him that I will continue to fight the good fight.

I had no choice. I had to move. We sold our house and moved on.

I found a terrified, matted, and filthy Lhasa Apso at the SPCA

I stole a dog because the SPCA would not help her

I would like to think I'm an honest law abiding citizen
