What a tragic loss. It was so hard to read the blog about Monty and what happened to him.
I've trained my boys (ages 10 and 6) to NEVER approach a pet without asking the owner's permission, and to never pick up a pet without asking first - they've known since they were tots that we're always kind to animals. But I was also raised that way - my parents were in animal control for our home town. Kids have to be trained early how to treat and care for pets.
I applaud the owner of the blog for turning this horrible event into an educational opportunity! That takes bravery and dedication on her part - kudos to her!
