Our dog was acting fine all day and we let him outside with the others to go to the bath room.
We have a fenced in yard so they can't run off but he hid under the porch and we couldn't find him when it was time to come in.
When we found him a couple of hours later he was bleeding out his mouth and rear. He could bearly stand.
We rushed him to the vet, who he had just seen not long before who gave him a clean bill of health.
They did their best but couldn't stop the bleeding or get fluids into him as fast as he needed them. They were going to put him down but he bled out before.
Anyways
Our Vet couldn't tell us what it was.
Nothing lodged in his intestines. No poison in his system. They ran all sorts of tests. They were stumped.
And it is still bothering me on what could have happened.

The necropsy showed nothing? That's hard to believe.
I had a dog, very similar, a large GSD, had no problems, diarrhea one day, took her to the Vet the next, third day she had rectal bleeding, rushed her in - it was cancer, the tumor had pushed through the wall of her intestines, she was bleeding out. The Vet could not save her.
It happened over the course of three days, and she was vetted every six months. Never had blood in her stool, never gave a sign there was a problem.
The necropsy, of course, showed the extent of the tumor.

You left the dogs outside unsupervised and a fence will never stop someone from throwing something over the fence since dogs left outside bark and annoy neighbors
