To all dog owners in the Auburn area: If you own a large brown dog that has a smaller black and white dog running the streets of Auburn at night loose please call 253-8987.

Your dog attacked my poodle and I March 30 at 10 p.m., killing my dog.

Your dog bit me in my face and hand, and without the information on your animal I will have to begin a series of rabies shots. If only you could have been a caring, loving pet owner as to not allow your pet to run loose. My dog was on a leash and was loved and will be sorrowfully missed. He was very much a member of my family.

I am not looking to cause anyone grief, just trying to save myself from the rabies treatment. Animals will be just that - animals, and if nothing else I hope you at least save me from unnecessary shots.
