How would you feel if the dog was killed by some other means? The article states that the dog was let out regularly. What if on that regular stroll he got a hold of some poison? What if he got on someone's property and was shot? What if he were attacked by some other dogs? The point is that the dog owner had a responsibility to that dog to keep him safe. Keeping him safe does not mean allowing him to go on a nightly stroll unsupervised. Also, are you trying to compare the life of a child to a dog? Sorry, I am a parent and a dog owner. I would have to say I would have more compassion for a dead child than a dead dog. As a parent and a dog owner I know and understand I have a responsibility to keep my children and my dogs safe. That means not allowing them to "roam" around free.
