In light of this horrible tragedy....are there any people out there that have photos of what this killer looks like? Is there any emergency treatments that can be administered immediately if there is a question of contact or ingestion?

Please be aware of what your dog injest. I understand we can't control what our dogs eat or drink in the field but I hope we can all learn from one another's experience/s. Again, thank you for all the concerns and supports.
