SEQUIM, Wash. -- A greyhound was fatally injured in a collision with another dog at the off-leash park in Sequim.
Merri and Russ Wilson of Port Angeles say their three-year-old greyhound "Moon" was running really fast earlier this week when it ran into a golden retriever that was chasing a tennis ball.
Moon was thrown into the air and apparently suffered a spinal injury. It couldn't move and it later died at a vet's clinic.
The Wilsons had adopted Moon about two years ago from Greyhound Pets of America.

Yikes. Death at the Dog Run
Dog collision kills pet at Sequim off-leash park
Tips From the Whisperer
Some tips for your dog and you:
Prevent obsessive behavior by establishing rules, limits and boundaries early and consistently.
Setting rules will help, not hurt your dog. He or she will see you as a strong pack leader.
Who you are to your dog is the energy you project. A pack leader’s energy is calm & assertive.
Give dogs affection when they’re doing what you want.
Everyone in the family must be on the same team when trying to get rid of unwanted behaviors in your dog.
Controlling dogs of any size requires mental strength. Leadership is always your most powerful tool!
Being self-aware and conscious of the energy we are projecting can help us become better pack leaders.
Choose a breed that fits your lifestyle. Couch potato or always on-the-go, the right dog is out there!

The Crimes of Dogs
(I am kidding.) This sounds like something my dog would do but hasn't thought of. Yet.
Dog Blamed for Fish Frying House Blaze
16 hours ago
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Firefighters said a grease fire that left $50,000 in damage to a Topeka home erupted after a dog shut a woman out of the house while fish was frying on the stove.
Authorities said the woman was taking garbage outside Tuesday evening when the dog somehow shut the door behind her. Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke with flames shooting from the roof of the home.
Topeka Fire Department Capt. Greg Degand said residents tried to douse the blaze, which started on a stove in the kitchen. But the flames spread to the attic and fully engulfed the house.
The woman's husband said the important thing is that everyone made it out safely, including the dog and their pet bird.
