Tennesse law protects dogs in cars

[Catherine]

Tennessee has taken the positive step of making it legal to rescue a dog from a hot car. They allow people to break in if necessary.

This is a very important precedent in the law. Sometimes even if police help is called they just can't get there in time. Seconds can mean life of death for an animal in a hot car. This law acknowledges that fact. If Tennessee can do this, then other places can use them as an example when bystanders have had to break a window to save a dogs life.
