Yes I remember about the dog left in the crate on the side of the road to die. Think it was Independence Avenue, which is one of the roads you would take from Myers Lake to Seven Bridges. I'm glad they caught the people who did this. I don't remember the one Cinder linked to but I do remember there have been several cases of abuse of animals since last year. There was also one about the horses being shot, "just because" was the excuse for that after they caught the guy.
Just thinking that maybe who ever did this, didn't live a "normal" life and then one day just wake up and decide to abduct children. There had to be some abnormal activity in this persons past. IMO
