UPDATE on Hex:

This was on Facebook:   A very sad update for Hex and his family. Hex was found beside the road this morning, with tags removed, near the training field. Hex is being taken to Chicago for an investigative autopsy. Someone/s stole him, kept him, killed him, placed him where he would be found...I hope that they find and prosecute those responsible for doing such an evil thing. All my thoughts and prayers go out to Hex and his family

Who ever had Hex put his body by the training field knowing he would be found there. Very sad for Hex RIP

Jesus...the poor guy.

jettasmom---Could he have been released and then got hit by a car......or is there info that leads you to believe that his captor actually ended his life?  Either speculation is horrendous, but I guess I just can't
believe someone could be so cruel to intentionally kill him....hence my question.  It's just awful.  No one will know what to say about this outcome. People who truly love their dogs are devastated for the dog and his owner.

My deepest sympathy for Hex's family.  May the evil persons who did this be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

LMH, the fact that Hex's body was found at the side of the road near the entrance to the training field used by his owner, on the group's regularly scheduled day of the week for training there, can hardly support any theory that this was all accidental or coincidental.

No....it does look highly suspicious, Hexe.  I don't frequent the other boards and won't register to get on Facebook, etc, so this info was unavailable to me.  When I first read about the abduction, my mind came to two conclusions.  Professional dognappers.....I'm not going there, or some idiot passerby that had seen the dog and decided he found a stud or companion.  Professional dognappers wouldn't bother returning him.  So----you either have some idiot in the vicinity that let him go and the worst happened----struck by a car.  There's a slight chance he may have been found by someone in the know and that person didn't want to get involved and placed him where he would be found.  If it was personal, and the dog was poisoned and left......I'm somewhat speechless.  He will be found.  Doubt he did this alone, and eventually someone will rat him out. 

I cried a couple of hours today over this dog.  I'm repeating myself right now.  It's awful......too awful for words.  Senseless.  This poor man and his wife.  I'm starting to cry again.

LMH, I understand--I only broke down and joined Facebook to follow the search for the lost MI State Police K9 last November, otherwise I'd be in the same boat as you as far as the cruel details. 

I've never met the Govedniks, and didn't know Hex, either, but this still brought me to tears today when I saw the update...to think that someone would be so hateful and so cowardly that they'd attack a family through their cherished pet just took my breath away, and I mean that literally--I had a brief asthma attack as I read the awful news.  I only hope Hex didn't suffer and wasn't put through any pain...that's little enough to ask, I think.

From the start, I felt this had to have been done by someone who knew the dog and his family, and who had some real or imagined issue with someone in that family.  I just don't see a complete stranger, knowing nothing about the dog, approaching a large German Shepherd Dog on the dog's own property and then actually taking the dog off and putting it in your vehicle--you'd have to be a crackhead to take that kind of risk with anything bigger than a Beagle, really. I agree with you that there are people other than the persons who actually abducted Hex who know some or all of the story, and eventually someone's conscience will haunt them enough, or there will be sufficient inducement offered, to break their silence and offer up the scum responsible for Hex's death.

Somebody said they hoped the individual(s) who did this rot in hell; I think that rotting in hell is too good for such evil.  Better that their eventual death take them to the far side of the Rainbow Bridge--with their hands and feet bound--where they are met by the"welcoming committee" of all the dogs who had unnecessarily killed humans when they were still here (that's their penance...in the afterlife, they punish those who abuse and neglect other dogs).  Then whoever did this would truly pay for what they've done to Hex and his family, and that payment would be extracted every day for eternity.
