MI DOGS
As printed in the Lansing State Journal - April 28, 2010
Lt. Governor, John Cherry joined dog owners, breeders and
kennel officials today to announce the creation of a
statewide advocacy group to promote "pet friendly"
public policy in Michigan.
Officials representing the new coalition, Protect MI Dogs,
said they will advocate for animal welfare; responsible
dog ownership, breeding and training practices; and sound
science and choice in veterinary medicine.
Cherry, who has bred and raised Springer Spaniels, was at
the Capitol to
help announce the formation of the new group.
Officials said the American Kennel Club licensed and
sanctioned nearly 550 events in Michigan in 2009. More
than 82,000 dogs participated, 65,000 of them from
Michigan.
Mark Jaeger, President of Protect MI Dogs, said the group
will make sure "policymakers realize that responsible
ownership and pet friendly policies can help boost our
economy."
