[nagdu] Massachusetts man tried to murder blind wife, kicked guide dog

[d m gina]

How truly sad, where the dog was trying to help her.
The Lord has much for her to do, and I am pleased she was able to get 
the help she needed.
Thanks for sharing, and I hope the dog will be ok.
This is one time if a dog bites it is exceptable.
