thedutchiedutch Posted April 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2019 How sad. My condolences to the family and friends of this poor boy. This dog needs to be put down and the owner should be held responsible somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntyseptic Posted April 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) This has been on my mind for days, I don't know why but it's really upset me, I think maybe it's because the little boy looked a lot like my son at the same age. I hope his family can find some comfort somewhere. Edited April 21, 2019 by Cat_From_Hell 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
