Another news story too close to home!

Our tiny mentality town only prints the rough, first report, story. They never seem to print any follow-ups of "what really happened". If they do, its a 3-liner hidden between the ads for botox and a funeral home. I keep trying to research it, but I come up empty.

I have heard through the neighborhood blabbermouth, who listens to the scanner day and night, that he was working on his car while his 2 kids were playing in the yard. The boxer was at the hedges, barking and growling....the guy grabbed the kids and ran into the house. He then came back out, which by this time the boxer was in the yard now......and the guy felt threatened and he shot the dog. The dog, injured, ran to his house. When the owner saw his dog, he grabbed his baseball bat and went right to the guys house. Appearantly, they already knew of each other, so some history was there to conclude. So with the two men now, one waving a gun and the other waving a bat, continued to shout obsenities and threats to each other until a neighbor called the cops. Both were arrested for terrorist threats. The guy with the gun wants to fight the charge of unlawfully possessing and shooting a firearm. Blahdidity, blah, freakin' blah! The dog was put down from his injuries at the vets office that evening.

The guy with the gun didn't shoot the guy with the bat, but he felt more threatened by a mostlikely playful boxer. What idiots are they both? Situation where the dog is the victim of a untimely death. Makes me wonder who was the threat here? Who was the terrorist? Who was truly threatened? Who was the victim? The man with the gun also had no fore-thought of shooting that gun and the potential of killing a child five feet away.

We did have one incident when I was little of our Dad shooting 2 pit bulls. They came on to our farm and were ripping our goats apart. Literally. :-(
Another incident was somebody shooting my Labrador male in a drive by doggy shooting. I was just a couple hundred yards away.
As for the dog hiding in the bushes, that's how Allie plays. She hides behind something and and barks at Diesel until he chases her.
Just a sad story overall.
