Wedding Scoop!! Two Death-Deyfing DoggiesMarry To Bring Awareness To The Fight AgainstEuthanasia On Canines

Hamptons pet owners, did you know that 31 States still use a gas chamber method ofeuthanasia on canines?!! We were shocked, saddened, and disgusted when we foundout..Outraged animal lovers have joined Animal Aid USA and the Sheraton Atlantic City tohelp support the elimination of this inhumane practice through the doggie event of the season!

Animal Aid USA and theSheraton Atlantic Cityinvites the public to join four heroicrescuedogs at the Sheratons Convention Center Hotel July 10 to celebrate the wedding event of thesummer. Bride Amazing Grace, a gentle mixed breed pooch who made national news in 2006after surviving a horrendous near death experience in a Hinesville, Georgia animal control

facilitys gas chamber, will wed groomDaniel, a beagle mix out of Alabama who managed toescape the same fate in October, 2011 (wedding party pictured below).

Both pooches have served as tail-wagging, face-licking, human-cuddling advocates for banning

the gas chamber as an animal euthanasia device, still used in 31 states. The nuptials andreception are being held to honor Grace, and in doing so focus attention on the tens ofthousands of homeless and abandoned pets she represents. Hosted by Animal Aid USA

The public is invited and everyone is encouraged to bring their dogs along, as hors doeuvres
