[NAGDU] Scary Situation

[S L Johnson]

Tracy:

Eva loves to be outside no matter what kind of leash she is on.  I never 
leave her out alone.  I am always standing on the patio by the back door 
holding onto the end of the leash.  I felt some movement as I usually do 
when she is out looking for a place to go but, I didn't feel anything 
different.  Whoever cut the leash was very quick about it.  I did report it 
to the police but, not much can be done because I could not describe the 
person.  Our complex is a senior development made up of 74 homes.  Some of 
the other tenants  say they have seen teenagers cutting through our property 
to get to some of the new homes that were recently built in our area. 
Fortunately Eva came right to me and pushed past me to get into the house.

Hi Sandy.
I'm glad Eva wasn't hurt, and ran back to you.  As others say, you should 
report it to the police.  Someone tried to harm your dog, and they 
trespassed in your yard.

Would Eva be happy with a Flexi leash?
Tracy

I think you have proof enough by having a clipped tie.
I'd call the police and report it.
It's not acceptable.
I am so very sorry that happened :(
Best, sonja and chief
