Well this is one post I was really hoping I'd never have to make at least for a long LOOONG time, that I absolutely dread to post, and wish to god I didn't have to. Unfortunately my usually happy doggy story has taken a very tragic turn for the worst. Late Thursday afternoon I had received a phone call at work from my landlords who live next door, and they gave me some news that literally made my body numb...... they said one of my dogs had been shot. I absolutely couldn't believe it. I made my way home to get the rest of the story, and my landlords next door came over crying..... with a very heavy heart and many tears, I'm sad to say my sweet boy Riley had crossed the rainbow bridge. To make a long story short, it turns out my ****bag whitetrash neighbor shot him in cold blood, saying that Riley "attacked his pant leg"..... which is complete and utter bull****. Riley was still rather shy, and absolutely would NOT go up to anyone but me. People could have food or treats to give him and he still wouldn't go up and take it from them. Not to mention he's had all his beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes, which he passed with flying colors, as well as his CGC certificate which he also passed with flying colors...... doesn't exactly sound like stuff an aggressive dog would have. The further I get into it, the more I see that LOTS of stuff just isn't adding up

I took him into the vets Friday evening for a necropsy and got a lot of useful information. Looks like he was shot 3 times, twice in the rear FROM A DISTANCE with a bird shot, and then once almost point blank near the head, which was ultimately what killed him. They checked his teeth for evidence of a fight or any fabric material (dude says his pants are all torn), and found absolutely nothing.... the only thing in his mouth was some grass. So needless to say, I'm building myself a legal case against this guy, gonna get all my ducks in a row, get as many people and agencies and whatnot involved as I can, and then hopefully nail this ******* to the f'ing wall, and am going to take every legal option I have to do so. The guy from Pet Heaven came yesterday and picked him up to take him to get cremated.... he should be back on Monday afternoon and I'll build him a nice little memorial to hang up here in the house where he can watch over his sister and his step-mama that love him just as much

RIP Riley.... 1-16-11 (gotcha!) - 7-18-13. 2.5 years old was waaaaay too young, especially to end it like this. Run free sweet boy...... I love you and miss you soooo much already

 

there's no scenario that would make sense for those 2 gun shots to the rear. it can't add up. especially with no thread in the dog's mouth. what a sick ****er


its hard enough to ever lose a dog, let alone in this manner.


i'm so sorry to hear about this.

 

Man that's unbelievable to hear. I've never even considered the possibility of anyone shooting Kai. And it'd be almost impossible to stop me from shooting back,. Kai is my closest family member right now. I'm incredibly sorry to hear about this.

Keep your head and avoid the guy till law enforcement take over. Personally I'd be staying with a friend across town rather chance the possibility of laying eyes on the dbag.

 

Sorry to hear about Riley. It's hard to fathom that someone would actually do something like that. I can't imagine how I would feel in your situation, not sure I'd be coping very well. If the other dogs in the pictures are yours then hopefully you get some comfort from being with those guys.

 

I am so sorry to hear about Riley Jared,

My sincere condolences for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy.

Be glad for the time he was in your life and the happiness you brought each other. Mrs SB and I lost our beautiful Oscar a few months ago - at only aged 7 - so we know what you are going through.

Kind regards, SB

 

Sickening to hear. Condolences to you.

always hard to lose a member of family, even of the canine branch!
