re: My dog finally lost the good fight today.

Feeling your pain. Our Ruby Cavalier was attacked by a coyote last Wednesday. Our Morky (maltese/yorky mix) bolted outside to protect him, but instead wound up being taken by the coyote into the woods across the golf course behind our house. He had been attacked by a coyote a few years ago and I guess he wanted revenge. Our Cavalier is recovering, but missing his hero.
