Welcome [.whats.gone.on.before.]
It started as a good idea... a few owners suggested to the city that they cleaned up the old mill and make it a dog park. Hundreds of people pitched in to clean it up, and for the first coulple of months it was the "greatest idea the city ever had." With acres and acres of fenced land dog owners could let there socailized dogs run free in different situations. Everyone met and chatted in the dog run. The outdoorsey people loved the wooded area. A pool was even put in, but it looked more like a pond. One day it all changed. Two dogs were playing, and it turned serious. The closest people tried to pull them apart, but the larger, a Golden Retriever turned and bite the women. The women's dog tried to protect his human, and it errupted from there. Dozens of dogs started fighting, grabbing anything that they could clasp there jaws onto. People were mauled, others ran. Leaving the dogs behind.
Days past and owners were only able to go to the fence and slip food over, hoping that there dog would survive. A storm kept them inside, and after days of thunder, lightening, and cold, hard rain either making or breaking the dogs. Many died, and it was survival of the fitest when the Ohio river flooded anddrove the remaining hopeful owners away from the city. About a month after the origanal fighting incident a animal control officer returned to the dog run. He saw several dead dogs, that had been eaten on. Perhaphs after death. Seeing no one around the officer entered and managed to dispose of deceased bodies. Hearing a noise, the man turned. He didn't live long enough to regret it.

You walk up to a fence, batered, but still standing. There is a gate, chained and locked, but slightly ajar. It is just big enough for you to slip in... to Wild Dog Run. Feral dogs roam inside, in packs, on marked territories. There is blood from the days previous battles, so you avoid it and enter the main run, with only open space and green grass. Suddenly a large dog is a few paces before you, tail upright and wagging. She is the most unique dog you've ever seen, with many different breeds in her genes, you can't even begin to guess whats in her, but she has mostly erect ears and a meduim red/brown coat. She looks at you steely, and you have to make a choice... stay, or flee for your life? News DO NOT STEAL!
