[nagdu] PA Evans'Bill toHelpProtectService AnimalsReceives House Endorsement

[Tracy Carcione]

Passle, that's terrible!  How is your dog doing?
Could you maybe get some media attention, to maybe educate people in your
town?
Gosh, if my dog had been attacked that much, I think I'd be carrying
around a baseball bat or something.  If I wasn't afraid to bring my dog
out at all.
Good luck ith your bill.

>>Photographing the attack is all well and good, but how is that going
