Anti-Dog Shaming Movement Picks Up Steam

Anti-Dog Shaming Movement Picks Up Steam

Earlier this week, The Fluffington Post brought you the story of a brave chihuahua named Savannah who is fighting the popular dog shaming meme by posting “pup positive” images to the web.  Now it seems that her fledgling movement is picking up steam.

Photos of dogs with equally positive messages, like the one above of Elvis, a beagle mix from Morehead, KY, have begun to pop up around the Internet.

“Dog shaming exemplifies everything that is wrong with this great nation,” said Tori Ambrose, a spokesperson for Savannah’s cause. “It is a shameful practice – shameful for the humans involved – and one that can be deeply damaging to a young puppy’s psyche.”

Savannah has started an online petition to collect signatures to stop this practice.
