Troubling Sadness for Dogs

Michael and I took Hope today on this trail in down town. It is the only place that we know of that allows dogs off of their leashes. When we got to the trail there was not a lot of people around and we saw two cop cars. That worried us a little bit but we figure we were ok so we went on the trail. We only walked a very short distance and came across this guy running with his dog. He stopped and told us that we probably didn’t want to go very far on the trail because two dogs had just recently been found dead there from some type of poisoning. He also told us that the police had informed him to not let his dog wonder very far because they were not sure if the poison was still around in the area or if someone had given the dogs it and then left them. Then he left with his dog and then this huge pack of dogs were coming towards us from the direction that the man had just come from and they all started to attack Hope. The owners had no control of their dogs and so that was it and we were so out of there. It was really sad to here that some place that we thought was safe is not so anymore and that we are going to have to start hunting all over again for somewhere we can take her. I really feel bad for the owners of the dog and I sure do hope that the police find out what really happened. It is a scary and sad world that we live in at times but I think that if we try to do our best and truly help and look after one another then maybe things could become better.
