(A resident) was throwing the trash and noticed the dogs were loose. I got here and they were on the front porch. The one attacked me and the (deputy) had to put him down.

They're part of the community.

You could smell the smell of death in there, ... I personally saw three dead bodies in the ER (emergency room). But we didn't get to see the whole hospital, and I was wondering how many people were in those other rooms.

Because dogs live in the present. Because dogs don't hold grudges. Because dogs let go of all their anger daily, hourly, and never let it fester. They absolve and forgive with each passing minute. Every turn of a corner is the opportunity for a clean slate. Every bounce of a ball brings joy and the promise of a fresh chase.

The very best thing about dogs is how they just know when you need them most, and they’ll drop everything that they’re doing to sit with you awhile.

The greatest fear dogs know is the fear that you will not come back when you go out the door without them.
