" IF IT IS A RELIABLE WITNESS!!!! "

" TO: To me and misleading and others....Nobody except the person who did the crime and the dogs knows who did it. Think about it, do you think the person is going to admit it to someone. You could live next door or even work with this person and you would never know. The only thing that the police can do is go off of what they have been told by the witness and if it is a reliable witness then yes they have a case. So give it up guys....if your trying to plea someones innocents just like me says forget it your doing nothing but sounding silly. I can tell you one thing, this blog is a fun way to pass time. "

" Perry Mason would love this mystery. Is it another groomer? Could it be a publicity stunt? An insurance scam? Why were the show dogs not taken to the vet immediately? The evidence could have been planted for financial gain. Can antifreeze poison make a dog go blind in one eye? Is this the same dog that was examined for juvenile cataracts at a dog show? Why did the dogs only eat a small portion? Were they the only 2 dogs in the outside run? Hope that there is a Perry Mason working on this case. "

" This had nothing to do with barking dogs & they where not picked ramdomly. It is a person that is insecured about there business. You know who you are, give yourself up. "

It is so sad!! wrote on Oct 12, 2007 12:10 AM:

" Americans are beginning to turn on defenseless animals behind a fence. Why are people so hateful? It's not just here, it's everywhere. People hate each other to the point of killing each other and now animals. If you have a problem, call the police, sign a complaint. Are you that much of a coward you hide what you do and handle it in a low mentality way? Dogs bark, that's all their is to it, you either get use to it or call the police. Maybe they didn't realize the dogs were barking all night, let them know, but not this way. Dogs will be your best friend under any circumstance, they love unconditionally and don't choose race. They are wonderful pets and can be so much company. Usually dogs bark because they are lonely and need companionship. I feel sorry for the person or person's that did this, you truly have to much hate in your heart. "

" I don't see anyone trying to "plead" the innocence of someone else at all. But your interpretation and abrupt, somewhat overly defensive response does say something. "

" A person is innocent until proven guilty. How many times is a crime committed by someone very close as in a family member or employee. MANY TIMES!!! "

" why were these prized show dogs that ate hambuger thrown over a fence("seen by a whitness") allowed to spend the night without vet care....the meat made it in to be tested why not the dogs too.... "

" The reason the contents are being tested to determine if this was a legit call and not either a frame or mistake "

" sounds like Ummmm, blind and Imho are trying to plead someones inoscents through this blog...give me a break. This person tried to poison the dogs, proof of antifreez in the hamburger meat is enough. If the dogs got sick from it or not this person is nutty and needs to pay. "

" Maybe in order to press charges they have to prove that the two dogs developed symptoms due to eating the anti-freeze. They can't prove it unless the test the contents of their stomachs. The suspects lawyer can always claim the dogs had other health problems. The police are just covering all their bases imho. "

To: IMHO wrote on Oct 11, 2007 11:22 AM:

" You have posed an interesting scenario. The suspects attorney would have to have facts that poison could cause blindness and aborting puppies instead of the usual death that poison usually causes and that these symptoms had not occurred prior to the poisoning allegation. GOOD POINT!! "

" When it comes to crime against humans we're told that the resources are not available and the money isn't there for further investigation. Funny isn't it how they find time and resources for dogs. "

" If they've already tested the portion of the meat that was uneaten, isn't testing the stomach contents a little redundant ( and costly)? "

Hope they catch them wrote on Oct 11, 2007 6:48 AM:

" I hope they catch this sick person(s) & force them to eat meat tainted with anti-freeze & broken glass. "

Hey Here wrote on Oct 11, 2007 6:31 AM:

" I have had dogs who I considered "my children" before I had kids. However, with the exception of the initial article and the obituary, we haven't heard anything about that child investigation. However, this is about the 3rd article on the dog poisonings. There are nuts out there driving around in white vans and red pick up trucks targeting children (if any of you remember) there was a red pick up truck stalking the schools at the end of the year last year. So, now the public has been informed that there's a nut out there poisoning dogs. And, who really cares if the stomach contents are going to be researched. What else do they expect to find? The dogs ate meat laced with anti-freeze. Are these lab tests going to prove who did it? No. So who's money and time is being wasted? "

These idiots wrote on Oct 11, 2007 6:02 AM:

" These idiots poisoning dogs need mental help. They are obviously disturbed. If it is an "attention" getting plot, they better think long and hard before repeating themselves. signed- AN ANIMAL LOVER! "

... wrote on Oct 11, 2007 2:06 AM:

" I hope that these animals will be ok and that the cruel person that tried to hurt them will be caught and punished. It's so disturbing to hear about any dog, child, or person that is a victim to such cruelty. If someone can so heartlessly try to harm an animal they are lacking something mentally and could possibly try to harm a human. It's good to know that Bloomington Police is taking this serious. "

" have a problem with canines or possibly trying to divert the attention of this story to something else. Had "Hey" paid any attention, MUCH attention is being paid to the death of the 2 year old child. DUH! This is a DIFFERENT ARTICLE!!! "

To: Hey wrote on Oct 10, 2007 9:41 PM:

" Uh, yeah...the two year old is getting attention...in the story that is related to that topic. Do you really think that they would mention that in a story about dog poisonings? Can you tell me how the two are relevant to each other? "
