Oh NO! She looks just like my previous dog. Such a good soul!

My mom told me about this tragedy yesterday. My response was that maybe her days of being a hero have been fulfilled. God wanted her to rest. At least she went to the Rainbow Bridge whole and not mutilated or hungry.

I don't know if it was the right answer. If it was my dog, I'd be freaking out. Nothing would appease me.

Doesn’t it just break your heart? Look in the face of that dog and after all she went through she still looked so loving and protective.

If it had been my dog I would be contacting a lawyer. I had a female Golden Retriever for 14 years, we were very close. Her mother belonged to an old girlfriend. We bred her with a beautiful male and the owner of the male wanted a male pup for the stud fee. I wanted a female so we each got our choice. I delivered the entire 7-pup litter and from that night on she was mine. Everyone who met her complimented me for being such a great dog trainer. But I wasn't, I just had an incredibly great dog.

She died on her birthday at age 14. I had such a special connection with her I said that day that I will never again own a dog. That didn't last as a female Doberman was bequeathed to me by a friend. She's a great dog but she can't compare to the dog I delivered, raised, spent 14 years with and then buried.
