President Trump says he won't sign any other bills into law until the SAVE America Act, a ban on vote-by-mail, plus various transgender bills are passed by Congress

You people are so incredibly pig ignorant. The Hanafi school within Islam allows dogs for all kinds of valid purposes: sheepdogs, hunting dogs, guard dogs, guide dogs. They do frown on dogs kept merely as pets. But like all animals, dogs must be treated in a humane manner and with dignity. “A man was walking and became very thirsty. He found a well, went down into it, drank, and came out. Then he saw a dog panting and eating the dirt from thirst. The man said, ‘This dog is suffering from thirst just as I was.’ So he went down into the well, filled his shoe with water, held it in his mouth, climbed up, and gave the dog water. Allah thanked him and forgave him.” (Sahih Al Bukhari) Shafiʿis are the strictest on dogs, stating that, like pigs, they are intrinsically impure. For them, dog saliva is severely impure and must be washed seven times. Hanbalis hold a similar view. (Dogs are not intrinsically impure but their saliva is severely impure and must be washed seven times.) Hanafis merely say that dogs saliva must be washed off clothing or vessels if there is moisture transfer. The Maliki school, which I find most appealing, are the most lenient on canines, stating that neither the dog nor its saliva is intrinsically impure.
