Parents Against Dog Chaining

Parents Against Dog Chaining (formerly known as Mothers Against Dog Chaining) is an initiative of Dogs Deserve Better, and is led by DDB founder Tamira Ci Thayne and Miranda Riane, mother of Timmy Hughes who was seriously injured by a chained dog in Wisconsin in November 2007. Miranda has joined with Tami, herself a mother of two, in this quest to stop chaining for the sake of the children. To take a pack animal, in need of love and socialization, and subject it to a life of neglect and isolation leaves us with a live grenade just waiting for a small child to step into it's path. If this grenade-fueled by restless energy, anger and frustration - explodes, our children pay the price, and often with their life.
