The loss of love for no reason is a horrible pain I never want anyone to know. I lost my fiance to brain cancer & it has changed me forever; there is no filling in the scar on my heart. Things that we cannot control, it is those that are the hardest when they tear our lives apart. I am truly sorry and send all my empathy for your grief & anger & loss. Know that you are not alone, I'm glad that you are lucky enough to have the person you love to help you & a furry neck to hug. It is truly a senseless waste & while it is never enough, you have all of our hugs & understanding.eventer79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03160817772061132147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-64015927204126752862014-12-20T20:58:25.760-04:002014-12-20T20:58:25.760-04:00I'm just learning about your ordeal today.

She has said that she did not blame the dogs. She knows the owners are at fault. At this point that is really irrelevant. If you have never loved a horse the way we do then you don't understand so if you have nothing nice to say keep your mouths shut! Also horses have contributed plenty in history. They were our transportation for a long time. It's not their fault they were replaced by machines.

The dog being an animal was just following normal instincts to chase the horse, it was the responibility of the dog owner to know where and what their dog is up to at all time, as it is for a parent to do the same for a child. I am a dog owner and these are my feelings in this matter. This will not ease your pain of loosing Steele, but maybe it will help you put the blame where it belongs.

In Montana, USA, the state I live, a dog which “harasses, kills, wounds, or injures livestock not belonging to the owner of the dog is considered a public nuisance and may be killed immediately by the owner of the livestock or an agent or employee of the owner. This is the law.<br /><br />Continuing, the law states “the owner of the dog, when reasonably notified after due process, shall kill the dog within 24 hours of notification. If the owner fails to do so, an officer may be notified and shall kill the dog or cause the dog to be killed.”<br /><br />And that is why people here dont let a dog they love run - to do "what to them was natural and fun, to run". If you love your animals, and value them, you dont let them run around irresponsibly.

Sometime in the future you'll be able to look back without so much pain and anger and be able to concentrate on the good. But today is not that time, so youll take the time right now to grieve. Dont stay there too long though, because you can become bitter and cold; there are ones who need you. Healing the heart takes time. I know this personally.

A horse is a hobby, a dog is a companion, a friend, a protector, an aid to the blind, an aid to the sick, an aid to those with PTSD .... I could go on and on. You see, although some people like, maybe even love their horse(s), what do they really do? When was the last time you saw a "seeing eye horse" or a "watch horse", or one trained to find drugs, survivors in an earthquake amongst the rubble, I didn't see one helping find the bodies from 9-11 or the Haiti earthquake. I can't seem to find any horses that are MWH - Military War Horse. None that can sniff out IED's, unexploded ordinance or weapons caches. Dogs have been known to frequently give their lives to protect humans ... again, no stories about horses doing the same. Dogs are smarter, can be more easily trained to benefit man, are more agile, more adept, less fragile, have keener sight, hearing and smell. Yes, I feelsorry for you and your horse, but please ... just because 2 dogs doing what to them was natural and fun, to run ..... don't put all dogs in your "fucking dogs" category. They are far more beneficial to man than are horses.

I cried as I read your story, as I have felt your pain. I am so very sorry for your loss. It has been 17 years since my Freckles was killed and I can tell you that you will never fully heal. Time will make it better though. On the other hand... My husband and I have rescued 2 huskies that had a death sentence for chasing cattle and killing chickens. However, we keep our huskies in a 7 ft tall, tightly fenced back yard that has rebar driven into the ground every 6 inches so that they can't go under. We take them to the dogpark for exercise regularly so that they don't have to find other forms of entertainment. Huskies are wonderful and loving dogs but they have the predatory instinct. Your lovely Steele's death is not the fault of the dogs, but of the owner who did not uphold their responsibility to keep their dogs home. Huskies (and other dogs) WILL chase livestock (of all sorts) and they WILL kill them. They don't understand that someone loves that animal that they are chasing. They only know their instincts. So PLEASE friends... I know that fuzzy husky is beautiful and those blue eyes irresistible, but RESEARCH the breed and BE WILLING to do what is necessary to keep them happy and other animals safe. Again, I feel sorrow to the bottom of my heart for your loss, I held my girl's head in my lap and stroked her mane as she drew her last breaths. My thoughts are with you for a quick healing of your heart and that someday you will be able to forgive.
