In Morganza, Louisiana, a family lost a son who was the unfortunate victim of a dog mauling by the neighbor’s three Boxer breed dogs. The small town / village of just over 600 people mourned this little boy’s death. In the aftermath of his death, the family along with a blogger (Holly Lemoine) launched a campaign and website called www.bloggingforblaise.com. This website contains photographs and memories of Blaise who only had four years on this earth. Despite his short life that was ended abruptly by this Louisiana dog attack. Blaise made such an impact both within his family and in the community. The website – www.bloggingforblaise.com – has valuable tips and insight for those dealing with a loss and educating children about dogs.

As an owner of four dogs, I understand the value of a pet as a companion. I also understand that there is responsibility with pet ownership. While dogs are often times very good companions, they are still unpredictable animals that can, at times, snap and attack another person or child.
