Today, my grandpa set out snare traps to catch the foxes that have been around our property, because he wanted to protect our dog from being attacked by them. I then got a phone call from my dad telling me our dog got caught in one. FML

Unfortunately our dog has passed. It was a choke snare. I don't blame my grandpa he loved our dog just as much as we did, he was only trying to protect him. I don't know where you're from in the world but foxes and coyotes are not harmless. Our dog was a little shih tzu and a fox or coyote wouldn't think twice about attacking him.

Honestly, what was your grandpa thinking? That dogs are somehow exempt from traps?

Aww, that's terribly unfortunate. I'm not fond of snare traps, because that's an unpleasant way to go. Still, Grandpa was undoubtedly just trying to help. And foxes can be very dangerous to littke dogs, people.
