There's one for my quote file!

Measure aims to help pet owners leave abusive relationships


Go, Maine! Lawmakers are finally realizing that people's attachment
to their pets has grave consequences when they're in danger. Many
people simply will not abandon their pets in those situations, and
would rather risk their own lives to stay with the pets.

This, in conjunction with the proposed law requiring public agencies
to provide rescue and shelter for pets in disasters, is a wonderful
trend.
