Collins urges CDC to revise new restrictions on dogs crossing Canadian border

(WABI) – Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, has sent a letter to the Centers for Disease Control opposing a new rule for those who travel with their dogs across the Northern and Eastern Maine borders into the U.S.

In May, the CDC announced a rule that restricts all travel for dogs under six months old and requires numerous new certifications.

The final rule is scheduled to take effect on Aug. 1.

Collins urged the CDC to revise the rule and to address concerns of responsible dog owners and visitors who demonstrate little risk of importing rabies.

Collins says the rule would cause significant burdens for Canadian dog owners.

She also says it would impact participation in the Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Race, since the majority of participants are Canadian.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
