| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize March 13, 2013, as Responsible Pet Owners Alliance | ||
| Lobby Day at the Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Responsible Pet Owners Alliance is known for | ||
| its valuable efforts to promote responsible pet ownership in | ||
| Texas through education, its Pet Care Hotline, and its training | ||
| assistance; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The acclaimed Beagle American Kennel Club | ||
| Champion K-Run's Park Me In First, known to the world as "Uno," | ||
| who won the Best in Show title at the 2008 Westminster Kennel Club | ||
| Dog Show and who often functions as a therapy dog and as a | ||
| celebrity representative for Angel On a Leash, a charity of the | ||
| Westminster Kennel Club, serves as the official mascot of the | ||
| Responsible Pet Owners Alliance; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Large or small, all kinds of pets run, walk, | ||
| crawl, slither, and fly their way into their owners' hearts, and | ||
| in doing so, they bring about improved physical and mental | ||
| well-being in ways nothing else can; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Well-behaved pets are not born that way; they are | ||
| the result of care, attention, and training; in return for all | ||
| these things, pets give their families a lifetime of devotion and | ||
| companionship; and | ||
| WHEREAS, It is recognized that dog-related problems are | ||
| not always caused by irresponsible owners; both dogs and owners | ||
| benefit greatly when dogs understand and reliably demonstrate | ||
| acceptable behavior, which can be learned and verified through | ||
| such programs as the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen | ||
| Certification Program | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
| 83rd Legislature, hereby commend all the responsible pet owners | ||
| of this state and recognize March 13, 2013, as Responsible Pet | ||
| Owners Alliance Lobby Day at the Capitol; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this day. | ||
