Can you feel the momentum building, soon to explode, showering everything with sparks of light which spell out "DOG CHAINERS BEWARE-THE ABUSE ENDS NOW!" ?The movement is growing.
In its infancy there were steps so minuscule as to remain unnoticed, and the discouraged folded their play tents and went home to drink wine by the fire and pretend they didn't remember the suffering.
But for those of us who camped out in the mud, putting one tiny foot in front of the other, even when no one believed in our efforts and advised us, for our own good, to run along home, the miles soon began to rack up.
At first it was small victories, a local law here, a rescued dog there, for me a chance to speak at the national level, a chance to spread our message in person and en masse.
Then state laws began surfacing, and citizens gathering together lobbied for bills to protect dogs without knowing how to do it but committing to learn along the way.
Despite the agony they endured in convincing others to acknowledge these Forgotten Dogs, they knew. They knew the fire in their stomach would not die until it consumed those standing in the way of truth and justice.
