![]() As well it should be. Little consolation to the dog owner. Heartbreaking story, and I don't mean that in any way that's it's more important than any other cavalier death of an animal or as important as a death of a human. But, I can only imagine how his owner felt as he was the one who came to aid of those who were wounded. This dog and her companion most probably saved the lives of a dozen or more military personnel in that barracks by not allowing the bomber to gain entrance.

I will say this about the story. Living in the state that it happened in gives us the whole story. This dog had no chip in it and no dog collar. As a dog owner,4 of them, i have collars on them and they are all chipped by their vet. I also have the back gates closed and locked. The guy had done none of this and he had the dog for many years. Its a terrible story for all concerned, but the owner must take some responsibility. |

I don't know how the dog got loose or why she wasn't wearing a collar, but I doubt it would have made any difference. The shelter worker was intent on putting that dog down due to wrong paperwork. The dog was there less than two days when she was euthanized.

![]() Microchip your dog.
Collar/tag your dog. As soon as the dog is missing call local animal control and/or police immediately. Go to the shelter first thing the next morning and look at each dog yourself - do not call as ask if they "picked up a border collie" Go to the shelter daily to look for your dog. Quote:
(and yes, I think this is a horrible story and the shelter was wrong)

Target was wearing her pink camo collar - the one she's wearing in the pics taken of her. There, however, was no tag on it. That was ill thought by Mr. Young. All dogs should have I.D. attached to their collar. The story is that there were two dogs in the same run - the other dog was the one that was scheduled to be put down, but the shelter worker took Target instead. When Terry Young showed up Monday morning, they brought out the dog that was supposed to be put down. Only then did the shelter realize what it had horribly done. Mr. Young states that he filled out paperwork for a city license and sent it in but hadn't heard anything back.
