The Legal Rights of Our Dogs

The U.S. legal system has tended to view dogs as property, not as sentient (or feeling) beings. Attorney Carolyn Matlock is among those trying to change that. As managing editor of Animal Legal Report Services and author of "We've Got Feelings Too", Carolyn monitors and reports on court cases involving dogs. Hear about the gradual changes taking place in this field and win a personalized, autographed copy of Matlock's book on this episode of Good Dog.
