Attention elected representatives and candidates in New York !
Close to 45% of households in New York include a dog. In many localities that percentage is doubled. "Dog issues" cut across party lines, and emotions run high when treasured family members and workmates are threatened.
In a recent poll a resounding 92.9% of likely voters indicated that they would cross party lines in local or state elections to preserve their right to own the dog of their choice.
Would elected officials be wise to court the "dog vote"?
The Dog Federation of New York thinks so.
