Safe For Them, Safe For Us!

Last month’s bitter winter weather sadly claimed the lives of hundreds of Texas Dogs. Lett These dogs perished unnecessarily to the Edi in the storm. As a volunteer for Texas Humane Legislation Network, we received many phone calls and pictures from across Texas of dogs freezing and dying. One picture imprinted on my mind, is of one such dog in our own Camp County. The dog was chained outside without shelter. It’s unfathomable to suffer freezing to death. Mostly importantly, from a human safety perspective, dogs living on the end of a chain are more aggressive and unpredictable. Children have been attacked and some fatally injured by their family dog who lived chained outside.
