Wa alaykum salaam. Brother, I have just signed up to this forum to respond to your thread (I found it in my traffic sources on my Blogs control panel.) Firstly, jazakaAllahu kheyr for this thread and for linking to me. I've been blogging for the love of it for months, and I have actually been very surprised by every hit I recieve. This story, I have no clue why it's been so close to my heart since I saw it on the news for the first time. The first part for me may be that it was localish to me, the second is probably that I was dumbfounded that owner negligence to attacks by dangerous dogs for so long has been a slap on the wrist in my state - and I think the third reason is a much more human one. I guess maybe empathy for her family, and loved ones and the knowledge that subhan'Allah something just as shocking could just as easily happen in any of our family circles and we really can't comprehend how her family must be coping, even now, almost two months on. May Allah (swt) reward, protect and continue to guide you brother. Ameen. JazakaAllahu kheyr. Wasalaam. Abu Khadijah.
