Heroic Dog Walker takes plunge into Central Park Lake to save the dog she was walking

A brave and heroic dog walker from New York risked her life today by jumping into The Central Park Lake after one of the five dogs she was walking decided to try to go for a dip. Police had to throw a life preserver in to the water to assist her and the pup out. They both are fine, just cold. I bet the dogs owners are ecstatic that their dog walker would go to such lengths to make sure heir pup is safe regardless the situation and at all times.

New Jersey toughens its law against harming service animals!


New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, signed legislation known as Dusty's Law, which gives extra legal protections to guide dogs. Dusty's Law is named after a 9 month old German Shepherd who was training to be a guide dog in 2010.


During this time, another dog attacked him, he required 100 stitches, lost some of his teeth and became so emotionally traumatized from the incident that they couldn't keep him in the program. Dusty's trainer, Roger Woodhour, recently told a New Jersey news site that almost half of all guide dogs are attacked by other animals.

Prior Dusty's Law, violence against a guide dog wouldn't be treated as a criminal offense; it would be referred to the police department who then were required to refer it to animal control.

Now with Dusty's Law, someone who assaults or kills a guide animal, or that allows an animal in their custody to do so, is guilty of a fourth-degree crime. Meaning that if the person is found guilty they are subject to a maximum of 18 months behind bars, a $10,000 fine, or both!!

Weighing in on retractable dog leashes

Personally, I don't use one, and in my opinion, I probably wouldn't recommend a retractable dog leash to anyone, especially someone with a larger breed of dog.  My pit bull broke his as a puppy and for a few brief moments he was on the loose, in that short amount of time, a number of things could have happened. He could have darted out onto the main road, got lost,  hurt , found some kind of trouble or ate something poisonous! Luckily ,none of those things happened but after that experience, I never used a retractable leash again.

The more I thought about retractable dog leashes, the more I kept finding reasons why they were not the right leash for me.  I enjoy having more control over my dog when we walk on a standard dog leash. In my opinion,  it creates more of a bond to  walk side by side, the dog respects you. He looks to you so you know hes paying attention to you, and he listens for praise or command.  A standard leash is sturdier and has less of a chance of somehow malfunctioning !
