This is a sad story. It is a story of dog's doing what they were meant to do. But it is a story of a dog who gave its life doing it.
I have a friend whom I have known for the past 36 years. She and I were at one time in horses.
This area has grown so much that most horse people have either left or moved way out.
My friend moved way out. She was living about 60 miles out from town right on the U.S. Mexican border. She had 204 acres. The horses loved it.
She had so much problems along the "fence..." if that's what you want to call corrigated steel which was always blow torced through...pullies included, that she moved inland by 3 miles.
The border and the drug cartels are really bad. Just this morning they found someone South of here hanging from a bridge with tongue cut out. A woman was found in a local Mexican reservor headless with hands cut off.
And just recently her dog...
Muffin is as sweet as. She is a Mastiff.
Muffin's job was to stay with the Nubian goats at night to guard against coyotes.
In the moring Muffin was found swollen up like a hippo. She was crying. She cried looked at her owner and fell over dead. The goats were fine. Muffin was poisoned.
The Border Patrol came out to look. What's happening in these rural areas is that the drug people come through a few days early and poison everything that may make noise. Then they bring the drugs under the quiet cover.
Footprints were found which had the circles of "booties" the kind worn to cover shoes in hospitals.
So the Border Patrol is aware but no one can even replace the value of that animal. It is just now a recorded loss.
So anyway...not all people like or love animals. When it comes to money nobody is safe.
I guess you can't move way out and be safe. There is always something. Now this gal never leaves any meat eater animals outside. What a way to live on 200 acres!
I'm looking at Wyoming myself.
