    I had a doberman when I lived in Olongapo, I used to have neighbors throw balls of hamburger over the fence with peppers (not sure of the name, but they were hot) stuffed in the middle. This seemed like a fairly effective way to keep the dog from being poisoned. I don't know if anyone ever tried to poison Butch, but that did happen to a friends dog when I lived there.

    What really sucks is that he suffered greatly through this and died in his own vomit. Picking up his lifeless body and putting him to rest was one of the hardest things I've done. Obviously I am very mad on numerous levels. My wife is watching videos and pictures she took of him right now from pup to recent and crying her eyes out.

    I really appreciate the responses, it is amazing how much our animals become family and a senseless loss is devastating.

    I feel sorry for you and the dog (I know him, I played with him). I had three dogs dead in the last 5 years so I know the feeling.
    The first one , a beautiful big spits dyed on poison too. Heart breaking.
    But it is not always a foul set up. People use rat poison what do's not kill immediately. The poisoned rat/mouse could have slipped inside the fence where the dog got to him.
