Wow Ruth, I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't believe how cruel some people can be. Someone used my cat for target practice when I was younger and I'll never forget it. I hope the RCMP can do something about this.

I don't have any words for this cruelty. I've always loved every animal I've owned like a member of the family since I was born. I can't imagine what amount of rage I would be feeling in your shoes but I can assure you it wouldn't be pretty. If I did ever determine the person who did something like that to my animal I can assure you I wouldn't be so nice to end their life so quickly with something like a gun. My utmost condolences and I hope you do whatever you can to find and punish the person responsible.

I don't know if there's anything that can come out of it either, but I suggest you report it nonetheless. This is a serious serious crime if gunplay was involved, I would go so far as to say public safety is at risk.

Again, I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Why would the neighbour you suspect target your puppy and not your old lab?

I don't understand people who can kill a member of someone's family and think nothing of it. Very sorry for your loss. Bad enough to lose a good dog but that's a terrible way to go.

I would definitely report it, but I doubt you will be satisfied. If I KNEW who did it but couldn't prove it, I would confront the cruel bastard then take away something they love. I doubt it would be a living being.

Maybe report it to the local SPCA as well. Get some official record of the incident so if later there is proof or something, they can at least start to build the case.

That person should be composted. And we thought all the kooks lived in the cities.

Really sorry for your loss.

Why anyone would do this is a question I cannot answer. I mean even the rule of the bush is if you do shoot something you make sure they are dead and not suffering someplace. I have never had a complaint about my animals - and on the off chance she did go into someone's yard all it would have taken is to come over or phone and let me know.
I have no proof but I do know that this guy is very very weird. He has apparently shot other dogs in the neighborhood and according to one of my other neighbors even had a dead dog nailed up to his shed for a while.
Gunplay is serious and I will wait to hear back from my RCMP friend - but at the end of the day my precious little angel is still gone and she suffered a horrible death and nothing I do can change that.
