picture' work towards changing laws as well as public
perceptions include rap impresario Russell Simmons who,
along with Frances Hayward and her beloved late rescue
dog "Amigo" have done PSA's together to help combat the
scourge of dog fighting as well as august members of
New York society who helped to make last years Gala in
aid of the HSUS anti Puppy Mill Crusade such a
resounding success.
