Sierra Senyak 7 posts	Did Tammy Grimes cross the line when she took a suffering dog out of a stranger’s backyard? Or did she do the right thing, no matter what the law says? Share your thoughts with other readers here.

Her sacrifices will always be remembered by me and I will contribute to her non-profit organization to help other dogs in this same position. Unfortunately in the state of Pennsylvania, dogs are considered property and the laws desperately need to change. When I think of property, I think of land, furniture, vehicles, etc. not a living, breathing being of any kind. Support her in her on-going efforts to make a difference please.

Yeah, maybe it’s “just a dog,” but it could very easily be “just a child.” These are lives and we all are accountable to what we, as the higher human species, do to alleviate pain and suffering. I would do exactly the same as she did. Bravo to Tammy for making a stand.

They sleep in bed with me and my husband and they hang out with us on the couch.They are our babies.Matter of fact we save 3rd dog,that we have from a abuse family with 3 kids! That dog was soooooo happy to have a loving home that she is the best guarddog that we ever had!

Toby4Life 21 posts	Laws are supposed to be set up to help and protect people (and animlas). This is an obvious case where the law has actually hurt that cause.
