Some things are just too horrific to understand. Case in point is the vicious attack that occurred at the Tiny Hooves animal sanctuary in Dover last Friday.
The details of the event are incomprehensible: an unknown person shows up and brutally beats two volunteers at the sanctuary with 10-pound bricks. His rampage continues as police close in and the man retreats to a pole barn where he takes his own life.
The story of the vicious attack is, unfortunately, among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press.
The newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday and subscribers will receive their copied with Thursday mail.
