Oh, what a frightening and helpless situation. There is nothing you can do. I'm so glad Eva came running back. That is just unbelievable, yet it really is not. I'm glad your little girl is OK.

Subject: [NAGDU] Scary Situation

Good Evening:

I had a very scary situation this morning.  I live in a senior housing development where all the homes are duplexes and they are arranged in a big oval with homes on both sides of the street.  My house is on the inner part of the oval so the back door faces the large retention pond.  This morning I put Eva out on her 30 foot tie-out as I usually do.  I stand in the doorway as if I am watching her like any sighted person would do.  Her tie-out is one of the heavy metal cords covered by plastic.  Suddenly she began barking and came running back to me and pushed past me to get through the door.  I was shocked to find her tie-out was in two pieces.  I know she didn’t chew it because the plastic was a perfectly even cut and so was the metal cord inside.  Now, I ask, who would do this kind of thing?  The problem is, I do not have any proof so there isn’t anything I can do.  I feel like putting a burglar alarm on her collar.  My back yard is open so anyone could walk back there.  The other thing is, obviously the person knew I am blind and could not see them.  I always stand at the door so people will think I am watching out for my dog.  Later this morning as I was dragging my trash can back to the garage, I spoke to a lady across the street.  She wasn’t out that early but said she was sure someone cut it hoping that Eva would go with them. 
Fortunately for me, Eva has a very loud bark and ran right to me.  So, as I sit here in fear every time Eva wants to be outside, I am thankful she is here with me.  The sad thing is that Eva loves being out in the yard watching the ducks birds and all the other action from the pond.  I took her out on a shorter leash but, it just isn’t the same when she had the freedom of a 30 foot leash to wander around our large yard.

Sandra and Eva, who always run back to mom
