I get pitched a lot of stories outside of my beat of movies and books, and usually those emails – about business trends, faith healers, Texas highways, the like – get trashed without out a second thought.
Sometimes, however, they get forwarded to my officemates.
Like you'd keep a pet chastity belt to yourself.

Hi Kimberley,

Every year millions of dogs are put down in U.S. Shelters due to overpopulation. You won't believe what a Louisiana man invented to help stop this pet problem. I thought you might be interested in this very interesting pet feature story.

PABS, Pet Anti-Breeding System, is commonly referred to as a Pet Chastity Belt- which covers and protects your four-legged female friend's reproductive parts to prevent unwanted breeding. It's a great alternative to spaying you pup, perfect for pet breeders and show dog owners. And with spring breeding season right around the corner, it’s the perfect time for your readers to learn about this very unique pet find. PABS even allows animals to perform their normal bodily functions - and is easily removable and machine washable.

Your furry friend's life does not have to be put on hold every time they go into heat, this pet chastity belt allow then to continue as normal! If you love taking man's best friend to the dog park, you'll want to make sure you have a PABS securely fastened on them to protect your pooch. www.PabsforPets.com

Please let me know if I can provide more information, photos, product sample, or an interview with creator. Thanks!

Regards, REDACTED
