Dog Federation of New York Expresses Deep Sorrow at Recent Dog-Related Fatality in Rockland County, New York, and Offers Its Assistance to Community L
(PRWEB) October 11, 2006 -- The Dog Federation of New York sends its sincere condolences to the family of Jeannine Fusco, along with hopes that her sister, Valerie Wall, will quickly and fully recover from her injuries.
Members of DFNY were very saddened by news of the tragedy in Airmont, NY. "We are deeply troubled to learn of Ms. Fusco's death. Our hearts go out to her family and friends," commented Mahlon Goer, spokesperson.
Though often creating much concern, dog related fatalities are extremely unusual. Dog bites are a much larger public safety issue. The Dog Federation of New York is committed to working with municipalities across the state to develop preventative dog owner education programs, and encourages local governments to implement dog safety or dog bite prevention programs, particularly for school-aged children, so that such tragedies will never be repeated. Dog safety or bite prevention programs have proven their value to the public over and over, and DFNY offers its assistance to public officials and community leaders to coordinate such programs.
About the Dog Federation of New York:
The Dog Federation of New York is a statewide coalition of dog clubs, organizations and individual dog owners that serves the public interest by educating citizens and public officials on dog safety and responsible dog ownership. DFNY advocates for strong, and humane dog-related legislation.
