Hour 2 - Would you trespass private property to assist an animal or pet in distress? According to the ASPCA, you shouldn’t. But heroic Lou Penrose has other ideas, which prompted him to save a neighborhood dog’s life from a strangling incident. When Lou managed to get animal control to the neighbor's home, the officer was not happy with the neglectful dog owner, who was at home but unaware that the tethered dog was in distress. If Lou had removed the dog without the neighbor’s knowledge from their private property, he could have been charged with theft. The dog was hopping around on three legs and crying all night as its one leg remained tangled up in the leash — what would you do in that situation! Once freed by Lou, the dog collapsed in exhaustion. Does the Good Samaritan law apply in this case?
