Chesco sheep owner charged in killing of two dogs

[Helen Reddy]

64. My work companion

just this morning told me her neighbor ran over her dog about 2 months ago. They live in a non ranch, non livestock rural area outside of a town. Her husband was outside and saw the neighbor purposefully hit the dog and left the scene with the poor pooch badly injured. They had to take it to the vet....there was nothing to be done.

About 6 months prior to that, my friends other dog (who was admittedly on the neighbors property) was shot and killed by the same neighbor! (IN FRONT OF HER GRANDDAUGHTER) The poor little girl still has nightmares from that so I'm told.

There are other ways to handle these situations, other than harming another living being.

We have a German Shepherd dog, and live in close proximity to a guy who raises a few head of cattle. I took the dog to meet him immediately to reassure him if she ever got close to his cattle, it would be for her wanting to "herd" them. Her namesake right? She has never meandered over to his property. (too busy trying to sit on our laps)

Those poor dogs and my hope is the shooter is punished to the full extent of the law.
