On July 1, 2015, Tennessee’s House Bill 537 went into effect making animal lovers extremely happy. This bill protects good Samaritans saving pets trapped in hot cars from legal repercussions.

A dog is being called Lucky Penny after coming perilously close to death.  The dog was struck by a train in Richmond, Virginia, and though she lost her tail and one leg, is in remarkably good shape!

A CSX worker who was patrolling the tracks saw the badly injured dog and called animal control.  Her right hind leg and tail had been severed, but she was alert and wagging her little stump.

On July 6, 2015, a parking enforcement officer ticketing illegally parked vehicles in San Antonio, Spain, saved the life of Barbita, a four-year-old mixed breed dog, locked inside the trunk of a car. The dog was left in the unventilated compartment while temperatures reached 113 °F. Her life was saved because officers arrived on time, 15 more minutes inside the hot trunk would have claimed the dog’s life.
