In the last month or so, a few of the dogs in our shelter have passed away. May they all rest in peace. Poppo succumbed to old age and a degenerative spinal condition. Dear, sweet Bruno, who was outside during the daytime, was found mysteriously dead by the side of the road at our driveway, with no injury whatsoever. We think that maybe he was clipped by a vehicle and suffered a heart attack. And gorgeous, boisterous Goofy died after receiving a head injury in one of the dog yards.
