An autisic boy near here wandered off with his dog. He was missing for 2 days. On the last day, the dog wandered out of the bush and they followed his tracks back to the boy. James was underneath a brush pile, unconscious and definitely not clothed for the weather. He was life flighted to the hospital in critical condition. Little James Delorey passed away shortly after from his ordeal.

I've been saddened by this, as most of us around here have been. But, as usual I took it as anything else in life and brushed it off. And while I wanted to share his story with you, I wanted to share this even more. After seeing it, it really hit home about what happened. It was from our local paper. And it was in the spot of our daily political cartoon..

And an article with some of the story.. http://www.google.com/hostednews/can...qi5GaVadie4y3Q

I know better than read the article while I'm at work... the cartoon is enough to make me weepy. So sad... but another example of how dedicated dogs are to their families...

I've pretty much done the same with all this. That picture is pretty sad though.
