Called to see friend in one of the sheltered dwellings per se (a different friend) - I haven't seen her for about 6 weeks.

Bumped into her neighbour who owned the most beautiful dog - I met her about January in all that snow and she was walking him and she divulged to me even tho she had children and grandchildren - she loved this wee dog. She just lived for him and walked him about 4 times a day. Then he got a little sick and had to wear as she called it a lampshade (the dog collar) - he got better. He loved her as much as she loved him. I know the dog filled a massive a hole in her life as she lost her son to suicide some years back and other lots of wee troubles. But the guy lifted her so much.

Anyway told me she went away for a few days about June - left dog in the care of her son - dog run out and was killed. I know she is broken-hearted and I am broken-hearted for her as her and I had shared wee naughty bits and pieces of dog life. She tried to say to herself - it could have been a child and indeed it could have been but it wasn't - but it was her child.

The more I think of it tonight I just think carelessness comes into this - this dog wasn't a runaway dog, adhd dog, whatever. But I am sad for her tonight.

Ah yes, that could make it more difficult.

I agree with you jj, very careless to let this happen to a dog his Mum loved so very much. Now she has to live with not only the dog's loss, but the fact that she may even blame herself for leaving the dog with him. I would find it very hard to get over something like this under the circumstances.
