Help stop a painful and unnecessary animal surgery. “Convenience devocalization” cuts away an animal’s vocal chords in a painful and even dangerous procedure to quiet dogs — and even cats — for mere convenience.

Massachusetts legislators now have an opportunity to end this unnecessary suffering.

Use your voice to help animals keep theirs. Urge Massachusetts to pass H.B. 344, ending convenience animal devocalization. Sign the petition today.

This photo was taken when the dog park was divided into two parts. A free pooping side and a controlled pooping side. This guy was just one of many looking for a way out, where he could poop freely. I’ll never forget the speech by Dog Regan… “Mr. Dogachaev, tear down this fence!” Still brings a wiggle to my tail.

Photo has been enhanced (poorly) to remove embarrassing non beard double chinnage.

I was at this really cool coffee shop called the Purple Cow, right here in Portland, Maine. I looked behind me and low and behold, there was a dog there! I forgot to ask the dog’s name. I’m going to say that this boy is named “Fluffy.” If you own him or her, please let me know so I can tell the world how nice your dog is!

Met this friendly boy on in the Old Port, right here in Portland, Maine. He was on a walk with his owners, but they were nice enough to let me snap this quick photo. Sometimes when you meet a dog, you can tell that they have a happy and good life. This was the case with Bo.

This is scooter. In the spirit of the holiday, he loved me, then barked at me, then loved me again. He’s a good boy.
