Mountain rescue team left shocked by discovery of missing dog's body

A mountain rescue team in Jura Krackowsko-Czestochowska in South Poland has found the body of Hagan, one of its three dogs that went missing last week. The 11 month old German shepherd dog's frozen body was found five kilometers from the GOPR station in Podlesice. "His ribs were broken and his head was shattered. The circumstances of his death are unclear," said Piotr van der Coghen from the Podlesice station. The police will not be asked to investigate, even though there is a suspicion the dogs were released on purpose. After the other two missing dogs were found, the station has been left with four dogs. "We need a fifth, but we're not thinking of that now. The shock must pass. It would be like marrying again a day after burying your wife," said van der Coghen. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 8) M.K.
