Yesterday, I attended the Ceremonial Bill Signing by
Governor Healey of H.4919, An Act to increase kennel safety, aka "Ollie's
Law."
Ollie was a 7-month-old Labradoodle puppy who sadly lost his
life at a daycare facility that has since been shut down. Ollie’s owner, Amy
Baxter, said she was devastated when she got a call that her puppy had been
injured in a dog fight at the private boarding facility. Ollie underwent
surgery and was in the hospital for two months before he died she said.
This bipartisan legislation will ensure our furry friends
are protected and I am grateful to my fellow legislators, the animal advocates,
and to Amy and her daughter for their tireless dedication to getting this bill
signed into law.
