January is "Unchain a Dog" Month. Words can't adequately describe the abject suffering of a lonely, intensely frustrated chained dog. Have a look:
 |
'Nuff said.
Please help unchain a dog this month and every month. Find out how you (yes, you!) can get a chaining ordinance passed in your community. Get a "Friends Don't Chain Friends" T-shirt and bumper sticker to publicize the issue. Watch Loretta Lynn's chained-dog public service announcement, "Life on a Chain Is No Life at All,"and forward it to everyone you know to raise awareness of the problem.
Thank you from the bottom of every neglected, frustrated, suffering chained dog's heart.

It's hard to drive by a place that has a dog on a chain or in a small enclosure. I want to do something, but without the right laws and those who will enforce them, it seems hopeless.
I'd like to exchange links with you. Check out my blog

Hi Karen!
It's not hopeless! There's a lot you can do. Read this: http://blog.helpinganimals.com/2007/12/give_someone_a_happy_new_year.php. Please don't give up!
Checked out your blog, and it looks very comprehensive and informative. Keep up the good work!

Hi Karen,
I've just come across your blog, and I LOVE it. :)
Thanks so much for expressing your unique vision and truth, with wise words and sensitive heart, in service of dogs (and their people).
We desperately need your voice.
One question: the photo of Patches in the "Chains Shall We Break" piece, breaks my heart. :(
Please...tell me that he was rescued...?..
Do you know?

Hi Kim!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them more than you know.
I'm very happy to report that Patches was indeed rescued from that horrible situation. But ... there are lots of other "Patches" out there who need us, so we have to keep pushing to get these dogs off their chains. Thank you for caring, Kim.
