A heavily armed man says he called off plans for an east-end shooting spree Wednesday afternoon following a chance encounter with a friendly dog. After parking his gun-packed car near Queen Street East and Victoria Park Avenue, he stepped into a nearby park to load his weapons. There, he said, a playful dog approached him. That encounter apparently changed his mind.
Thank heavens it was a friendly dog this disturbed 43 year old man encountered. I don't know what this dog said or did to save the day, but the tragedy he averted cannot be understated. I'm not the world's biggest dog lover, despite the fact I live with Booner, but if I could have one moment with this K9 saviour I'd certainly smell his butt and let him smell mine.
