(Well, the dog was not chained; but it's collar was too loose; (making it too easy to get caught on fence); and the fence inappropriate for this dog.)
(hocndoc) This story says that the dog had been caught just like this before and she had helped him, just as she did this time.
Yes, I got that...and agree with your conclusion. . . My position has been that first and foremost the responsibility here for this tragedy, falls first to the owners of the dog. . .
as per my post(s):
. . .there were surely 'forewarnings' here; including the jeopardy even of dog himself; by repeatedly getting his collar caught in chain-link fence; (if even once; though it appears more often - see post #8) . . . and so from that perspective; one could reasonably offer that it was an accident that did not have to happen..
AK! Thanks for correcting me. I am not sure how I read it to say (or assumed) the dog was chained. Thanks for the correction!
