I write to describe shocking and painful events that led to the death of my beloved 9-year-old dog, in hopes that others may be spared.
On Dec. 29, as my 12-pound dog and I returned from our morning walk on the common in Putney village, a large dog tore across the street, snarling, and a woman ran after it, yelling.
The large dog immediately jumped upon my dog, and with huge jaws attacked her. The woman attempted to gain control, perhaps with a leash, but she was soon lying on the ground next to her dog.
I tried to lift my dog from beneath the attacking dog. Then a second dog who looked very much like the first came from the same direction and joined in biting my dog.
