A Tribute to Sooner

Oct. 1974- Sept. 24,1987

Sooner was my first dog I had as an adult. This page is a tribute

to her. Sooner went through college and young adulthood with me.

She was my best friend, running buddy, etc. She was definitely

a "mutt." I paid $5.00 for her from an ad I saw in the paper.

Sooner was poisoned in her own back yard. More than 20 dogs

in my neighborhood were poisoned with strychnine and most of

them died. The killer was never found. I came home and she was

already dead. Five days later, my PD, now 14, was also poisoned.

I managed to get her to the vet and save her. I still grieve for

Sooner and wanted this page as a tribute. She was never sick a

day in her life until the day she was killed. Even though she was

a month short of being 13, she didn't seem old at all. Here are

some of her pics. They are poor quality, and I lost my album with

most of her pics in it.
