It breaks my heart to share this with you.....

I have struggled about whether to post about this, but since I sent out a plea for help to bring Sophie home, now that her fate is known I feel I should share with those of you that were concerned about her when she became missing.

If you missed my earlier post, here it is.

After many days and hours of searching, my friends finally found Sophie, deceased, in the river less than a mile from their home. There is still no sign of Brian, the little white dog.

The circumstances of Sophie and Brian's (Brian is still missing) disappearance are still suspicious, and foul play is suspected.

ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL?
