Adding to this: The dog was shot in the BACK of the head.

Good job Deputy Jerred Dooley. You are a really brave cop.

The two hour delay in arriving? Just an administrative problem.

“Officials with the Rains County Sheriff Office told KETK, Deputy Jerred Dooley responded to the call at 2:41 p.m., nearly two hours after the initial call for help. According to Rains County Communication Supervisor Patrick Wilson, the two hour delay was investigated and the cause was found and corrected with administrative actions.”

According to an necropsy the family sent KETK, Dr. Kevin Bankston of the Hopkins County Veterinary Clinic examined Candy and determined the Blue Heeler was shot in the head from behind.

In my estimation, based on my pathology findings, the trajectory of the bullet could best be described as caudal rostral, i.e. from the back of the head towards the nose. These findings suggest that Candy was shot while retreating from the shooter.

Better Jerred Dooley had not arrived at all.
