Hi Gail: I have read all of the posts that have been sent so far. What puzzles
me, none have addressed wher this incident happened. On the show grounds, in a
parking lot of a resturant near the show grounds, etc.? It is a tragic story,
even more so, if it happended on the show grounds.
If we can find out exactly where they discovered the dead dogs, it may well be
a warning for others to stay away from that location in the future. Just some
thoughts.
Stay well.
