Bristol Tennessee Now Has Guidelines For Tethering Dogs
The City Council adopted a new regulation Tuesday links dogs, to prevent injuries and unnecessary suffering.
Bristol established Liza Conway lifted the move in January, when it had for the first time a meeting of the Council with pictures of dogs, which are not, because the water or protecting their limitations.
Conway spoke Tuesday to members of the Council, this time, asking they adopt a law, bans or web links.
