I don't know how many of you are familiar with the following case that's been going on in Pennsylvania since September 2006. In short, Tammy Grimes, founder of Dogs Deserve Better, came to the rescue of an abused dog which was literally dying on a chain. She was arrested for coming to the rescue of that dog, named Doogie. A lot has happened since she rescued Doogie and you can read all about it below. It saddens me that animals continue to be marginalized in our court systems and that outright cruelty and abuse of animals is tolerated far too often.

Tammy gets 2 paws up for her amazing efforts and perseverance!
