Justice served and justice waiting.

I have not addressed this issue, in part because I don't know how Mark Lunsford has handled this situation. Every time I think about it, I wonder how I would react in that situation and I know for a fact that I could not conduct myself with the style and grace that Mark Lunsford has. So all I can say about this is that I am glad to see that there has been some justice in this case.

Now, I can only hope that there is justice for this girl.

"Two weeks ago, a gift-wrapped box was left at the house where she lives with her grandmother in St. Paul's Rice Street area. Inside the box, Crystal was horrified to find her dog's head."

Now I am the caretaker/mom/human companion of a 7 year old border collie cross. I know how conjoined the Junior Logician is with his dog. I can only imagine how heartbroken he would be should something happen to his dog.

"I told him everything and he never shared any of my secrets," said Crystal, 17, who has had some troubled times in her young life. Chevy was her therapy dog, and she leaned on him for comfort and support."

A therapy dog....even worse. People who have therapy dogs are very dependent on them. To lose a therapy dog is even more tramatic than losing a family member.

The Humane Society of the US is offering a reward to anyone who has information leading to the arrest of the animal who did this to Crystal and Chevy. It is my fervent prayer that they find this "person" quickly. Obviously whoever did this is not a mentally stable person and needs help.
