So you think your yard is safe? Think again.
We had no idea we would lose our beloved pet Saturday morning
Oct. 1. At 3 am we let our small seven-pound terrier out in our
well-lit front yard. Our dog would never leave the yard, not
even to chase a ball across the street. We never imagined that
three minutes after letting her out, she would be taken from us
in the jaws of a wolf. Imagine that, in our front yard.
We ran to rescue her, but the wolf was faster
than we were. It took her to the end of the street and into the
bushes. When we searched the next day and all we could find
were large wolf tracks.
While searching, we were approached by a lady
who lives nearby. She lost her 14-pound poodle the same way a
few nights previous. We were also
made aware that two cats have gone missing
recently.
The reason for this letter is to let others
know that their yard is not a safe haven. If a wolf can carry a
dog away, what could it do to a child?
