Saved two strays but lost my little buddy.

The other day I had my dogs out in the fenced in area so they could run and play and do their business. I noticed a strange black dog running near my pond so I brought my pups inside. Then I saw that there were two black dogs loose. I got a couple of pics and went to my local FB page to post them. Sure enough there were others posting pics of them as well.

I decided to see if they would come to me. They were a bit hesitant but came over. I thought if I could unlock the shop they would go in. Unfortunately when I was trying to unlock the door, one of them went up on the front porch and attacked my old cat Moe. I ran as fast as I could with a bad knee, but old Moe did not make it. He ran off but I found him dead a while later.

I was able to get the dogs in the shop and contact their owners. At least the pups were safe. They had run almost 5 miles from their home in town. I'll miss old Moe, but I'm not sure he would have made it another winter.

Sometimes good deeds come with consequences...

Sorry for the loss of Moe.

So one of those dogs killed your pet cat?
Once you find the owner of those dogs, you should be asking for compensation for their irresponsibility.

What do you ask for, $50, $100, $200, $1000? I could not ask for money, it just seems not right and it won't bring Moe back

I have dogs as well, and I know **** can sometimes happen you have no control over. I know how grateful I would be if the shoe was on the other foot.
You should have seen how happy those pups were to see their people and vise versa.

I think you’re a pretty understanding person. I’m like Haydude, I’d be upset at the owners of the strays.
