Hat's off to DK, I say.
Yes, it was unfortunate. Gruesome, some might say. Would have been so much easier to report on a great holiday, and completely whitewash over the attack, and say nothing.
I for one applaud her openness and honesty, not to mention her determination to do all in her power to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Had she posted a happy clappy version, then someone had come on and said "Hey, DK. We were there at the same time. You should have come and said hello... Oh, and by the way, we witnessed your dog maul that poor unfortunate lamb!!" how would she have felt then?
I'm not advocating allowing dogs to run willy-nilly in inappropriate places. I'm not a dog owner, nor particularly a dog lover. In fact, due to my allegiance to my football team, you could say I am more attracted to our ovine friends!!
Must admit, my first reaction was "Well, keep the bloody thing on a lead then"! But then I don't know the rules... and it seems she was perfectly entitled to allow her dog to roam free? Either way, it happened, and DK showed remorse and regret in her opening posts. Maybe she was even thinking it may help other dog owners, just to remind them of what could happen, if they let their guard down. She certainly comes across as the caring and helpful sort.
Life isn't all buttercups and roses, and it does no harm, imo, to bring the less attractive side of life to the fore, now and again... And no harm to debate it, either.
One other thing that has (literally) just sprung to my mind... Borda was put on this earth to offer companionship and affection to someone who was willing to offer love and life in return. No doubt this poor lamb was put there simply to go on the dinner plates of folk less sensitive and caring?
Let's not lose sight of the fact this was an accident... ALL accident's are avoidable, by their very nature, but they happen all around us, every second of the day. That's life... and death!
Unfortunate, upsetting, and controversial... but well done, DK, for being open and honest about it, I say.
