After sharing the story about the tragic death of Raj with my
sister-in-law, she told me about the day two dogs went through the ice in the
river. Their owners, in a panic, went running out onto the river ice after their
dogs and they too went through the ice. Fortunately, quick thinking folks on
shore brought all four back to safety. Minutes later, while everyone was
recovering from the frenzy, my sister-in-law's dog, Eddie, ran out onto the
ice and fell into the river. One of the wet guys from the first rescue
volunteered to rescue Eddie, thank goodness. I hate to think of how many dogs
have been lost to the river during winter (anyone know?). So let's ask the park
board to not only install safety fencing along the cliff, but also consider
barrier fencing along the riverfront during the winter months.
