Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton want your pooch safe & warm

Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton are all helping to bring attention to the plight of chained dogs through new PETA public service announcements. For "Unchain a Dog" Month, Emmylou hosted a news conference in Nashville where the three singers' spots were screened to encourage people to allow their pets inside, where they are safest and happiest, rather than keeping them chained outside, longing for warmth and companionship.

In Emmylou's commercial she declares, "I'm a proud member of some great organizations. One is the Grand Ole Opry. Another is PETA." And Dolly and Loretta donated some of their hit songs to the effort.

I certainly hope no one reading this blog needs a reminder that dogs belong inside when the weather turns cold (and cats belong inside all the time!)
