Yeah, gotta pay special attention to the pets when on an outing. I saw a
guy going dow n the road dragging his dead boxer dog down the road by
the leash. The driver didn't have a clue. I was't quite sure what
happened, but it was a bizzare event.
Brother-in-law bout an expensive - like registered blueblood short-hir
pointer to hunt with. Dog was a fantastic a getting on point. But he was
a climber, and kept getting out of the pen, even though it was 6-7 feet
tall. Brother-in-law bought a strong leash and fastened it to the fence
inside the pen. next morning sure enough, he went to feed the dog, and
the dog was outside the pen, hanging by the neck, feet about 4 inches
off the ground. Sad.
