"There's no such thing as an animal ambulance."

Well, maybe there should be... Frogs to Dogs thinks so. Check out this horrible story that aired on Good Morning America of a young couple in Texas that was speeding to the emergency vet clinic because their tea-cup poodle was choking. They were pulled over by a law enforcement officer, rightfully so, but were given absolutely no leeway once the officer found out why they were speeding. I can only imagine how I would have handled this cop!

While Frogs to Dogs has been fighting for opportunity to run an emergency pet transportation business in the state of Georgia (long story that includes political warfare and the notion that animals lives just aren't as 'important' as human lives), we'll continue moving forward with our plans of providing the service soon, even if on a scaled down version of the orginal plans. Hopefully, no one has to suffer like the Texas couple, but if enough stories out there like that are shared on national TV, the need for emergency pet transportation will become more real!
