Molly - much too young

How tragic! I hope the perpetrator is caught and prosecuted!

Nothing will probably come of it. It sounds like the dogs were fighting and he stepped in to stop it. I don't know how that works, but there should be consequences for killing someone's dog. I don't know. It's just a bad situation all around.

A tragedy for all concerned. How did her dogs manage to get out? Does she know? Glad Winston will be okay. Gosh, when dogs fight it can be so scary and all can happen so fast!

I have no clue how they got out. I just got this info off Facebook. I don't want to ask her too many questions since I'm sure she is very upset right now. I'm sure it was just a freak accident type of thing.

This is tragic. Anytime a dog or cat dies needlessly, it is tragic.

But, it is completely understandable, too. My son was attacked by a dog, a loose dog. I was witness to, and involved in, a horrific mauling by a loose dog of another dog on its own property. I was, just two weeks ago, cornered, as I walked my dog to pick up my son at the bus stop, by a loose dog. I swear to goodness, I shook for half an hour.

The level of fear I felt (and perhaps what I have witnessed makes me unusual) with the loose dog, who looked identical to your friends dog, btw, was horrible enough. To imagine my own dog being attacked would have pushed me over the edge.

Again, I do think this is tragic, but, I completely understand how someone else, in defense of their own dog, would stab another dog.

I'm so sorry you experienced that Cataholic. And I totally understand about defending yourself and/or your dog. TOTALLY That's why it is such mixed emotions for me. So sad it had to happen at all.

I just heard from my other friend, who is Molly and Winstons neighbor, that they attacked a dog while it was walking with it's people so the guy stabbed out of self defense. The man was protecting his dog, himself and his family. He had no clue if the dogs would attack people as well.

I guess we can be thankful Winston didn't bite a person or he would be joining Molly.

Oh gosh, tragic all around. Prayers for all involved.
