DC Police Consider Gun Charges Against Man Who Shot Violent Dog
Of course, when they shoot a dog ...
The bloody paw prints travel the length of a city block, from a Northwest Washington street corner where police said an 11-year-old was mauled by three pit bulls to the welcome mat at the dogs' owner's home.
Two days after the attack, in which police said all three dogs were fatally shot, the prints were a reminder of what happened at Eighth and Sheridan streets on Sunday afternoon. Police said a neighbor and an officer shot the pit bulls as they sank their teeth into the boy's legs, arms, stomach and chest.
The boy underwent surgery and remains hospitalized, a family member said. One of the dogs managed to limp back to his house before he died, leaving the bloody trail up Eighth Street. The boy, the dog owner and the shooter live on the same block.

There are good dog shoots.
The shooter obviously should have waited until the dogs decided to drag the child they were mauling into his house. Problem solved, right?
Faithful dog owners. And never to hurt anyone. Do not be persecuted him. by : http://umidog.com
