In England, new legislation will protect service animals such as dogs and horses.

The new law dubbed as Finn’s Law was named after a service dog of the namesake who got stabbed while protecting his owner police handler David Wardell.

Finn received near-fatal injuries from his heroic deed.

Minister for Rural Affairs Mairi Gougeon says so many service animals selflessly protect us with some even nearly killed while doing so. She is thankful that Finn survived the attack but the suspect was only charged with criminal damage and was given a fine. With Wardell’s relentless campaign, the law will give service animals the protection they deserve with potential greater prison sentences and fines for worst cases of animal cruelty.
