Buttons is dead 9-14-2005 8-25-2012

It's sad and unfortunate that Buttons is dead, but I don't see how monetary compensation could begin to ease your pain.

I don't think the money is the point of the exercise - making the person who owned the dogs bear some responsibility, and perhaps even feel some remorse is the point. The money is just the means to make an impact on them they might understand.

Not to sound cold, but the dogs had previous records according to the published article, and were well known to animal control. Obviously the owners cared nothing for the dogs or any of their actions, so I doubt this will make any kind of impact or raise feelings of remorse either.

I'll bet my life that these dogs weren't utd on their rabies either. That sucks that Animal Control didn't file charges against the owners.

RIP sweet Buttons.

Dog euthanized after attacks in Everett

EVERETT -- A boxer involved in a series of dog attacks in north Everett on Aug. 25 was euthanized last week.

Everett police and animal control officers alleged that the boxer and a pit bull got loose from their yard and attacked five people, including a police officer.

The pit bull died after receiving an electric shock from a police Taser.

Animal control officers last summer deemed both animals "potentially dangerous dogs" after a biting incident, according to city records.

On Sept. 1, the boxer was deemed a "dangerous dog," city spokeswoman Kate Reardon said.

The owner was notified and told about the conditions that would have to be met for the dog to be returned home, Reardon said.

The owner chose to release the dog to the shelter. It was euthanized Sept. 5.

No, but it will make an impact on their wallet, which they likely WILL notice, and regret THAT, if nothing else.

HERE IS A NEW STAR SHINING IN THE SKY TONIGHT ...
Author unknown

There is an old belief that the stars shining in the night sky are the spirits of those who have died. They have shed their earthly bodies and exchanged them for bodies made of light; thousands upon thousands of our dear departed friends all promoted to glory in the night sky. There is another saying that the brightest flame burns the shortest.

My friend, you were the brightest star in my own universe. While I burn on, my flame dimmed by grief and despair at your passing, the stars are watching me. They are too far away for me to touch, just as you have gone somewhere I cannot follow until my own star-time comes. They cannot be held close for comfort, just as I can no longer hold you close, though I held you close to comfort you in your final hours. We were together for such a short time, but the stars will burn forever.

One day I will grow tired of this earthbound body, my own star-time will come and my spirit will soar into the sky to burn with all those friends who have gone before me. On the inky cloth of space we will be reunited in constellations of joy. Until then, my flame burns low and dim and cold without you. Through my tears I look upwards to see if you are watching me and what do I see?

There is a new star shining in the sky tonight. .. Please pray for buttons.. pat n diane
