I’m with you. It was foolish to take the dog on these trails without as much as a $20 orange vest. It’s just plain risky.

As a human, I wouldn’t go walking there on a deer season day without an orange hat, vest, etc. It’s a real risk. I feel terrible for the loss, but easily prevented.

Can you share where this happened? I couldn’t read the article.

I think I figured out this was Lake Ontelaunee. I saw a pic of the dog’s harness, and it was green. I’ve hiked this kind of combo hiking/hunting/horse trail in Berks before, and I’ve been very cognizant of the hunting season. My dog would’ve been wearing an orange vest on this day. Looks like coyote hunting is legal even on Sundays. Orange vest is common sense to avoid tragedy.

I’m wondering exactly where this incident happened.

Here’s one possibility to get you started. It’s fascinating reading, and not new information. https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/diseases-conditions/androgen-insensitivity-syndrome

It’s really not. That’s the middle school level understanding of genetics, but there’s much more too biological sex and gender than XX and XY.
