The Sad Story of Oreo Becomes a Beacon of Hope, Nov 2009
Oreo, a female dog, was thrown from a 6 story building and survived only to be killed by the ASPCA because she was deemed to be untreatably aggressive. A nearby rescue group that specialized in rehabilitating and care of abused animals was willing to take Oreo in, but their request was refused. Now the New York State Legislature has introduced "Oreo's Law" to make sure that future animals wanted by rescue groups will not be euthanized before they can get the help they need.
