[Dailydrool] Shooting dogs

[Pam McQuade]

<<Another woman said she too had been afraid of guns, but there was a 
sharpei sitting in front of her door (when they lived in the country), and 
it wouldn't go away. So she drove to Wal-Mart, bought a bb gun, came back 
home again, and shot the sharpei in the forehead. She laughed when she told 
us she never saw that dog on her property
again.>>

I suppose it would have been too much for her to approach the dog to see if 
it had a collar and an owner and see that the dog would be returned to its 
home? Or even call a rescue?

When we found a cute black dog at our door, we checked for his tag and 
returned him home. Sure, he doesn't have the best family in the 
neighborhood, but at least that day he didn't get hurt by a passing car. And 
now I know where he lives, when he gets out again (as the clueless owner 
told Drew he doubtless would). If I run into her at some point, I plan on 
asking who her vet is, so if the dog is seriously hurt, I can take him there 
and then have them call her.
