[nagdu] Talking dogs

Fri Feb 18 14:11:57 UTC 2011

I would love to know what Ben dreams about, but not enough to want a
talking dog!  I remember being single.  I can imagine what the dog might
have had to say about some dates I had.  Discretion is one of the great
things about dogs.

>> from
>> Attacks
>>
>>  MORRISTOWN, N.J.   Representatives from The Seeing Eye, including puppy
>> raising families with Seeing Eye  puppies, President & CEO Jim Kutsch,
>> his
>> wife Ginger, and their Seeing Eye dogs Colby and Pixie, will assemble at
>> the
>> Statehouse February 17. They will deliver hundreds of petition
>> signatures
>> to
>> lawmakers which call for New Jersey to adopt Assembly Bill 832 and
>> Dusty's
>> Law , Assembly Bill 3226. Both bills provide service dogs with
>> protection
>> against attacks and interference by either people or other dogs.
>>
>> The petitions were drafted in response to a growing concern for the
>> safety
>> of New Jersey's guide dog teams and a horrific incident last summer when
>> Dusty, a Seeing Eye puppy in training, was viciously attacked by another
>> dog. Dusty sustained severe injuries requiring 98 stitches and the
>> removal
>> of four teeth which were crushed during the attack.
>>
>> "Seeing Eye dogs are especially vulnerable to injury during an attack
>> because they ve been bred and trained to be non-aggressive.  Further,
>> they
>> are unlikely to leave their masters  sides, even to save themselves,"
>> said
>> Seeing Eye President & CEO Jim Kutsch. "We are deeply grateful to the
>> bipartisan team of state senators and assemblymen sponsoring these bills
>> for
>> recognizing the need to provide greater protection for service animals."
>>
>> A832, introduced by Assemblyman Nelson T. Albano (D - Cape May), and its
>> companion bill, S1154 initiated by Senator Jeff Van Drew (D - Cape May),
>> establish new crimes against people who intentionally harm or interfere
>> with
>> a service animal. Dusty's Law, A3226, sponsored by Assemblyman Robert
>> Schroeder (R - Bergen) and Assemblyman Jon Bramnick (R -
>> Union/Somerset/Morris/Essex), establishes mandatory fines for pet owners
>> whose dogs attack, injure, or otherwise interfere with a service animal.
>>
>> New Jersey is one of the few states that do not yet provide criminal
>> sanctions for attacks and interference against service animals. For more
>> information about how you can help protect guide dog teams, please visit

>> Seeing Eye's Web site at [2] www.SeeingEye.org/protector email [3]
