I have to agree with Dr. Freddy's comment about a dogs DNA to hunt especially in a pack. I have a fixed outside cat and he gets along with my dog very, very well. Having the freedom to do whatever he wants as an outside cat but has the tendency to wonder off. In fact, cats have been accused of crapping on the windshields of cars and picking fights with other neighborhood cats to the point of death, fixed or not. Is there a law for their nusiance and murdering of another cat? Can't tie or put him in a kennel. Should we take them to a vet to end their life because of their nusiance? Difficult worlld we live in, Love one, Despise the other. But hey, I love them both. Again, sorry for your lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-7469957923862572492010-04-07T20:20:31.330-10:002010-04-07T20:20:31.330-10:00Sorry for your loss.

Its in there DNA to do so. When there are more than one of them, and they are in a "pack" they get more that way...<br /><br />To train a dog not to do that sort of thing, i.e. be socialized with cats and not chase them is quite impossible. My dog will leave most cats alone, including the 2 we have, but if she sees another cat and it runs, there goes my dog, unless she is on a leash.<br /><br />Most dog owners do not have fencing around their yard because of cost. Many have been used to the "freedom" to let dogs run loose without training them to stay at home (it is possible to do this). But when dogs do not get walked, exercised, and trained, they have all this pent up energy so they run off and look for something to do....like hunt.<br /><br />Perhaps we can blame the dog owners, but it won't bring Poochie back to life. Maybe if we can "educate" the neighbors, another tragedy will be prevented.<br /><br />Dr FreddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-4567570414047734492010-04-07T11:44:50.234-10:002010-04-07T11:44:50.234-10:00I want to express to you from myself and my kids o...I want to express to you from myself and my kids our deep regret at the loss of your pet in such a traumatic fashion.
