Even in the safety of your own home, you should always supervise your dog in case he swallows something harmful. In a best-case scenario, your dog swallows some dirt and eats a tiny worm or two. You scrunch up your face but virtually, there’s no harm done.
But in a small neighborhood near downtown Colorado, several dogs have fallen prey to poison.
Award-winning pet journalist, Sharon L. Peters, reports in USA Today that two dogs have already died after eating poison that was thrown over the fence and into the yards. At least 10 similar incidents in the neighborhood have occurred since the beginning of March.
Even in Cumberland County, New Jersey, three dogs, including 5-year-old golden retriever, Raymond (shown in the picture), have died after eating poisoned, raw meatballs that were placed along hiking trails, according to NJ.com.
And in Schertz, Texas, early this month, poison as well as meatballs and sausages with medicinal pills inside were found in the yards. It has happened at least six times within a few weeks there.
