Well I certainly understand why she was trying to do what she did. Sad she didnt make it.

That would be a tough one for me, but I’m pretty sure no matter HOW much I loved my dog my abnormal FEAR of open water would make that decision for me.

RIP, Mrs. Glover.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Modern journalist’s have no ability to anticipate important questions the reader is going to have. They are too lazy to answer them.

What happened to the dogs goes a long way in finding meaning in the mater.

That was an honorable way to go. Dogs are awesome individuals.
