STRANGE DOG DISEASE IN U.K.

Dogs are dying in England, and no one seems to know why.  They develop lesions and will suffer a long, painful death due to kidney failure, forcing their families to make that most difficult of decisions for a beloved pet.  Some are likening this outbreak to something called Alabama rot, which was caused by the E. coli bacteria.  It makes you wonder if it's something harmful in their food (tainted Chinese imports again?) or if it could somehow be linked to the severe flooding all over the country.  It's been a strange year across the pond, for one reason or another.  I hope someone discovers the cause of the disease soon before more dogs succumb to it.
