2. Reader Comment of the Day: "I myself is a dog owner and I can fully feel for the people that lost their dog. Any animal you have in your household becomes a member of your family. My heart goes out to the owners. If my dog took off, I know, I wouldn't be able to sleep until she was found. As I sit here on my couch in my living room, my dog is laying next to me. I hope Snappy's owners have him back in their home real soon. As for Dan, you are a heartless person. Keep your mean comments to yourself!" Reader Mary, commenting on the story, "Roving Weimaraner 'Snappy' Still at Large."
