The state House on Wednesday was expected to take a final vote on a bill to strengthen Pennsylvania’s dog law. Supporters rallied on Tuesday to keep pressure on the House and the Senate, which has yet to consider the measure (see previous stories).
The House was expected to pass the dog law bill. But even though amendments that would have weakened the measure were defeated in the House earlier this week, Governor Rendell warned that efforts to water down the legislation will continue when it goes to the Senate. Rendell made his comments on Tuesday during a capitol rally attended by dog lovers, when he could get a word in edgewise:
“Each and every one of you have to go to your senators and tell them this is an issue that you’ll vote on! [barking] [cheering] A smart dog as well, right?”
The governor was upstaged by his own dog, a golden retriever named Maggie.
