This bill seeks to prevent states and local governments from prohibiting their residents from owning dogs by withholding federal funds. Specifically, it mandates that no Federal funds may be made available to any jurisdiction that implements such a ban on dog ownership. Furthermore, the bill includes a Sense of Congress asserting that Sharia law is a foreign concept that is contrary to the pursuit of happiness. It also declares that it is a fundamental right of all Americans to own a dog, linking the prohibition of dog ownership to foreign legal concepts.
