When you first read about the dead dog who did you believe killed it?

I couldn't believe someone would actually kill a dog like that. It seems so cruel to me. At first I believed it to be random act and that Chris would never find out who did it. Then I thought it might be the neighbor's ex-husband, but I didn't really get at who really did it until just before the author revealed it.

I miss all of you discussing...

Are you out there...Chels, Jess, Laura, Foster?????????????????????????
