"When I came back out about ten minutes later Tawna was lying dead on the porch, and August was try- ing to drag her into the house," said Mrs. Bond. The dog had been shot in the hind leg by a high-power- ed rifle. An autopsy per- formed by a Port Perry veterinarian confirmed that the dog died almost immediately from shock and that the wound was caused by a high-powered rifle, said Mrs. Bond. The shot apparently took place during the time Mrs. Bond was in the house answering the phone, but Mrs. Bond says she heard no gunfire during that time. Mrs. Bond said she sus- pects that the gunfire came from either Concession 7 which is about one-quarter mile from the house or from corn fields which are on both sides of the farm, but she is not certain.

Mrs. Bond described Tawna as being very well trained, obedient and good with children. The dog was a second place finisher out of 150 competitors at a show recently in Ottawa. "We just can't understand this," said Mrs. Bond. It was cold-blooded mur- der. There just is no other way to describe it," she said. The family contacted Durham Region police who are carrying out an investi- gation.
