Dexter’s Law goes into effect

Rick Patrick rick@greenepublishing.com One law that took effect on Thursday, Jan. 1 is called “Dexter’s Law,” although the actual designation is CS/HB 255 - Aggravated Animal Cruelty. The legislation has been given the name “Dexter’s Law,” named after an “innocent shelter dog who even won awards for his sweet temper, love of other shelter pets and agreeable personality. He was adopted, like all shelter dogs should be, and found beheaded in Ft. DeSoto Park a few days later.”
