One question, "Why would you let your little dog run free like that"??? Your story saddened me so much because I have 3 dogs, 2 of them being Jack Russell's, and I live on 14 acres of land and I would never just let them out the door to run free and "fend for themselves". Dogs are like your children, and when you take on the responsibility of them you should take is seriously. They rely on you to take care of them, they are not wild animals that should be let out to roam the streets. To me you were negligent, and are to blame for you dogs death. I have a huge fenced in yard for my dogs to run around in, (approx. 100 ft. by 80 ft.) try putting up a fence and maybe you won't lose your dog at such a young age. What a shame ! !

Got a Jack by: Jim
Hi April,
Thank you for the offer but I did get a very cute Jack around Christmas that I seem to be falling in love with. He'll never be my Jack Man but it does feel good to have another little face looking at me again.
So thanks anyway.
Jim

Sounds like a brave little man. He was lucky to have such a good and loving mom.

Maybe in Time.... by: Margie
your heart will heal and you can love another JRT but as we all know it will not be Jack Man. But we also know it will HAVE to be a JRT to do the trick!! ha...Right?
Thank you for sharing your story....it was very heartfelt and I am sorry for your loss but most JRTs dont get the freedom to roam all over because they dont behave as well! So, I'm sure he loved every minute he was able to chase the neighborhood squirrels, cats, rabbits and whatever else he could find to go after!
Take care and hang in there...

Same thing happened to my Ruckus by: Joseph
I know all about it man. Ruckus under-estimated a dog much, much bigger than him. But the other dog was bleeding and there wasn't a mark on Ruckus. We figured his neck was broken too.
I'm still grieving and can't think of getting another Jack just yet.
I'm with you Jim.

Breaks my heart by: Liz
Just so sorry to hear about Jack Man. I lost my JRT a few years back. I know where you're coming from.
Hang in there. It gets a little better as time goes on. My advice? Don't wait too long to get another Jack. They have a way of filling the void.
