He was in his own front yard in a neighborhood of close homes! For as any of us know, he may have even had an invisible fence installed to keep his dog at home. Who cares if his dog was on a leash or not? It just doesn't matter. The anguish is felt by anyone who has ever loved a pet. They are family. We baby them, exercise them, laugh with them. And they provide companionship and unconditional love. How sad that anyone suggests that he could have done something different to protect his most cherished companion ... in his own yard! Tragedy happens. Don't place blame on a grieving soul. They blame themselves enough. Coulda - Shoulda- Woulda. It could have been any one of us with animals we love. I feel his pain. And send out a virtual hug. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

To say this so attacking everyone, apparently you did not read all the posts on this thread. This thread shows that everyone here is a pet lover & the majority have pets!
