First of all, if someone poisoned my dog I'd take revenge and it would
be SERIOUS!
Second, how did she poison the dogs? Did she hand feed the poison or did
she leave something out for them to eat? Little kids like to put things in
their mouths or even just handle them. Any poison that can kill a dog can
at the least make a child VERY sick. What if she inadvertantly poisoned a
small child (hell, I think they are WAY more annoying than dogs!)?
