oh, horrible

My coworker and her husband were apparently killed in a dog attack; as they lived in a rural area and there were reports of problems with packs of stray dogs, that would seem to explain it. The saddest part is, they loved animals and adopted a zillion strays - we got an email this morning asking if anyone was interested in adopting or fostering some of their pets.

That is horrible. And bizarre. So sad for their families.

Oh, Christ. What a horrible thing.

(Having once waded in with a broom handle when a woman was being attacked on my then-block by dogs, I can imagine it happening, too. Still one of the scariest things I've ever done.)

Oh, God, what a terrible death. I'm so sorry, for them and for everyone who knew them.

Yes, that is horrible. Sympathies to all those who knew them.

Holy mother of God! I know that people underestimate how dangerous pets can be when they go bad, especially a pack. I'm so terribly sorry.

Good lord! That is not a sentence I ever thought I'd read...

Oh, that's horribly sad. I'm so sorry.
