“Dear PoPville,
Jogging in rock creek park around 330 Sunday I saw a group of people crowded on boulder bridge looking down into the creek at a beaver that wasn’t moving. Word going around was that an off leash dog had attacked it about 20 minutes earlier.
I’m not a dog owner and don’t know protocol for the park. But I hope people visiting the park with dogs realize the risks involved for wildlife. I love that we have beavers living in the middle of our city. I’ve seen them swimming in Rock Creek three or four times before. Today’s sighting was devastating.”
