Terri
Bunge and Amy Smith
This is the third year Amy and I have been involved in the chain off. The one big difference this year was Tammy’s absence. We missed her presence but knew she was doing important work in Mundy’s Corner. The other difference is that Amy and I were chained this year....See Pics and Read More
Erin
Blais
Erin Blais did a 'one woman solidarity' 24 hours in her own backyard! We strongly urge you to do the same next year if you cannot get a bigger event organized for your area...Erin still got great media attention with little prep time and little ongoing effort, as well as garnered donation money for her local rep, Susanna Richer, to vet dogs. She says: "It was quite an experience. I was very bored most of the time but I knew that it wouldn't be forever. I think the first and last 2 hours were the hardest. I did feel very secluded and alone. I could hear my husband and nephews playing in the pool, it was awful...I so wanted to join them. I think I can somewhat understand how a chained dog feels. When I heard my husband coming I was very excited at the prospect of a little attention. It was strange to feel that way. I see people all the time and usually welcome the chance to be alone for a little while but I guess that is something I've taken for granted. My husband was great through the whole thing. I think he felt badly for me (even though it was my choice) he brought me "treats", and made sure I had plenty of water. At one point he tried to sneak the radio speaker out the front door so I could hear it but I told him no, that's not fair. People would come by to see what I was doing so that something to look forward too as well. I was glad when it was all over and the first thing I did was go inside to see my own dogs who I missed very much through those long 24 hours. I was on 2 news channels, one that ran the story at least 8 times!! The other news channel put a link on their site, for more information and it's still on there. I was also featured on a local newspaper website but she never put a follow up in there. I should be in an upcoming issue of Downest Dog News which is another local newspaper that comes out once a month. And we can't forget about the local talk radio show that Susanna got us on last week too."

We were VERY pleased with the publicity that we got from our participation in Chain Off 2006 this year! We made the HEADLINES of the local newspaper (DUO PLEADS CASE FOR CHAINED DOGS) on the 3rd of July and our efforts were well reported on two local radio stations...See Pics and Read More

Dogs
Deserve Better celebrated its 4th Annual Chain Off Event with
something new and inspired this year: A Chain Off Contest where
humans lived as chained dogs! The event took place in
Mundys Corner, Pennsylvania, beginning July 1st, and continued
all the way to July 13th. We would love to tell you who
won the contest and took home the new car as a prize, but you'll
have to do your homework to see for yourself, as we don't want
to spoil the fun! Each day's synopsis follows, click
the links below to read all about it and see excerpts from the
contestants journals.
