mined that the adult horse ap
peared to have been in labor
when dogs attacked both it and
the foal, Eilling them both.
“Those things do happen,”
Irvin said, “and a similar inci
dent happened to me in the past
involving a cow and calf. It’s un
fortunate when tragedies like
this one in Menlo happen.”
He said the department’s
veterinarian was unable to take
any specimens for laboratory
analysis from the carcass of the
adult horse because it had de
cayed too much.
