I'm so sorry for you Wendy....Bernie looks like an adorable pup in that picture.
Your such a a kind person -its even more heartbreaking to know someone did this to your beloved pet.
This is the main reason why we havnt adpoted a dog for our yard..I just know that some bad-minded ,jealous person would poison it or worse...And would be too much for me to have to walk in my neighborhood and see the faces and know one of them was responsible..
my mother said " a man will treat his children as they treat their dogs ". I'm so sorry for Bernie !!!!!!! What could he have done to make someone want to see him die in pain .
If the pupper died due to some complete piece of s*it hitting it or if maybe someone poisoned it because they were jealous because of their perception that a "white woman" in the yard somehow puts your man in a better position than them WHATEVER the stupid reason---- I am so sad for you that this happened. I just can't understand the level of barbarity and lack of humanity that it takes to harm an animal. Human on human I can understand because sometimes humans do such horrible things.................... like this........
