The lawyers at BDL have fought hard to improve the standing of dogs in our judicial system. They are seeing a slow evolution in how judges accept arguments about the personal value of a dog or cat to an owner and the ramifications for when that pet is wrongfully taken or harmed. Boston Dog Lawyers never surrender and they encourage all pet owners to realize ‘It’s Time to Bark Back!”
