I talk about the shelter I volunteer at - last week we witnessed a very sad situation.  A frantic couple ran into the shelter with their lifeless beagle pup.  The pup wandered from his yard and ended up next door at the neighbor's house.  The gate to the neighbor's pool was ajar and the puppy went in to investigagte.  The inevitable happened and the poor pup drowned.  Please - keep children and pups away from unsupervised pools and one must never take their eye off of a puppy (or a baby)- they are so inquisitive that dangerous things can happen.
