The members of RASP mourn the death of "Sophie" this nine week old Bear Coat Puppy who was killed by her adopted mom in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, July 1, 1997. "Sophie" was one of three puppies abandoned in a house to fend for themselves, with their mother, a bowl of water and a bag of food. "Sophie" was dropped off at the vet for euthanasia after only two days at her new home because she was not wanted -- we were not given the chance to save her again. This tragedy will have an everlasting impression on all of the members of RASP.
