[NAGDU] Scary Situation

[Lisa]

Hi,
oh, that's really a scary situation! I once heard a story like that: 
Here in Germany a lady was free running her dog in a park regularly and 
one evening, suddenly she heard a male voice saying: "There you go, run 
off!" and then her dog came back to her without his collar. So obviously 
someone had the intention of letting him free so he would indeed run 
away. That's so scary because we can never do anything in these 
situations... We don't see who's there or where they're going and, as 
you say, we can't proof anything.
I'm sorry I can't give you any suggestions for the future...

> 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.
