Hi Imperial valley! My name is Alfonso Topete 25 years old and a proud father to a beautiful 7 months fureball! Anyone who has lived in the valley during the summer knows the extreme heat we experience.

The Two main points in the petition that I will fight against will be:

1.Making it illegal to tether or restrain a dog during a national weather service issued heat risk.

2.It will be against the law to keep a dog tether outside for more than 10 hours in a 24 hour period.

Most people like myself and other pet owners consider pets a part of the family. They’re inside with us. They are cooled off with us. Unfortunately, not everyone does that. Let's make a difference Imperial Valley!
