Is it legal to chain your dog outside?
USA Today recently ran a story about a new law being proposed in Illinois, which would require that any dog tethered outside remain in the owner’s line of sight for the entire time the dog is tied. Other states and municipalities have laws which limit the time a dog is outside or ban the practice altogether.
Regardless of how you feel about the various laws, I think we can all agree that some dogs live a miserable life, never being allowed off of their chains, or not able to access shade or fresh water.
Do you know the law in your area? Check out this site for a listing of what’s up where.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
A new way to exercise your dog?
Englishman Paul Railton wanted to walk his dog last December, but apparently wasn’t willing to make the effort. Instead, he attached the dog’s leash to his collar, brought the other end inside his car, and simply drove at low speed along a country road while the dog trotted along beside.
He pled guilty to failure to control his vehicle and acknowledges that he was being lazy.
His punishment? a $100 fine plus court costs, three points on his license, and no more driving for six months (due to the accumulation of points on his license.)
No word on whether or not the dog was injured or enjoyed the experience.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

There’s an app for that!
We have talked from time to time about the various ways of finding your dog when he gets the urge to run. I have a beagle, aka a nose with feet attached, so I know whereof I speak. If you’re considering buying a pet locator, check out our comparison of brands here.
But I digress. I got notification last week from the good folks at SpotlightGPS Pet Locator that they now have a free app for the iPhone that will allow you to track your dog’s location, as well as set up safe areas where the dog is allowed to roam.
Below is their press release.
