Dog saves the day, again

Just like with all the people rescued from the snow and mountains, a dog has come thru again to rescue the lost and disoriented boy scout. So why is it that our great country cannot afford theses great animals more protections? The laws are weak when it comes to protected dogs and cats from abuse and neglect. People often say "its just a dog" well as we have seen time and time again, its just a dog that continues to rescue us humans. Let's do the right thing and grant them the protections they deserve!
