South Carolina guide dog bill awaits governor signature
A bill making it a crime to injure or kill a guide dog or another service animal awaits Gov. Mark Sanford’s signature. Angela Bone, whose guide dog Sweet Pea was maimed by a vehicle, says the measure protects handicapped people and requires payment for medical care or replacement. The bill carries up to three years in prison and a $5000 fine, with costs for care and replacement. Bone plans a new guide dog by July as Sweet Pea retires.
