I Confident,fun loving and boisterous young boy looking for pets and cookies from all who were near him.It is even video taped and on youtube! I knew Saturday that something was amiss. It greatly saddens me to even think that someone intentionally tried to harm this wonderful dog.Whoever it was,you Know who you are and as Kathy says,SHAME ON YOU! It is terrible and I feel awful for Ann and Cathy. I deal with this sort of person every day in my work, but you would think that animal lovers would have nothing to do with this sort of thing. I considered the first five dogs, (we know who the first four would be, but thought Koby would be one of them). I can't imagine any of those owners even considering using drugs on a dog that belongs to someone else to gain an advantage. But there were people who were beat in Canada, or maybe someone just did it to be mean. Next year let's put Kobe with a secret person, in a locked stall, and in a locked crate. If they don't know where he is, they can't do anything. I would even be willing to invest in a camera and a video loop. It is a real disappointment to me to think this was done, but it is but one person, and hopefully will never be repeated.
