[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to the dog?  Why was he separated from the family?[/quote]

Probably a precaution. I notified Animal Allies and asked them to call and if the dog is still there, to find an emergency foster. [/quote]

Thank you. What a heartbreaking story and the fact that the family pet is in a concrete cage somewhere makes it even worse. [/quote]

A dog in a concrete cage is so much more important than two dead humans. People befor animals you idiot. [/quote]

It boggles my mind that some on here are zeroing in on the child’s loss of his dog, over the child’s violent loss of his parents.

I love animals, but it’s proof of how emotionally stunted “dog people” are. [/quote]

There is nothing anyone can do to get the child his parents back, or change what happened.
There is a possibility that his dog can be made sure to be well taken care, and available for him to be with it should it be possible in the future.

Perhaps that is why some people are talking about it.[/quote]

This.  My own kids love our dogs.  In a horrible situation like this one I would think that it would be a great comfort to the family (and the boy in particular) to know that the dog was being cared for personally in a loving foster home.[/quote]

The family has a f**ked up teenager to deal with,  the traumatic death of two family members,  and a traumatized adult child and 9 year old child.    I suspect they may be a teensy bit overwhelmed and are not thinking of whether or not Phideaux is in a "loving foster home."  [/quote]

A likely scenario. Which is probably why PPs brought it up. Hoping the dog doesn't get lost in the shuffle. A lot of bad things happened, lots of bad decisions - here's one more thing we should try not to F up if we can help it.

Fairfax County has a kill shelter, so the dog probably doesn't have long.[/quote]

It's being looked into and handled today. I've made sure of it. And Fairfax County has been revamped and my vet said that most of the animals get adopted. It's not what it used to be.[/quote]
