i am hopeful our good friend did not succumb to an armed invasion, especially from illegal aliens looking for resources, food, money, etc. i hope the dog transitioned peacefully, and not from bullet wounds from invaders, etc. i don't know what happened, and knowing won't bring either one of the individuals back. they're gone.
i don't have to "know" it aint required. but we all know an individual and his pet dog has left us, and left the scene.
I strongly suspect if that were what happened and Cross was at all physically able, there would be at least one or more other cadavers to be dealt with.
