HOUSTON -- A neighbor was arrested for shooting a neighbor's dog Monday in the South Acres community.
The incident happened in the 3500 block of Cork Drive near Scott Street.
The 13-pound mixed breed puppy is named Betsy.
"Poor Betsy," said her owner Emma Adderley.
She told us that the neighbor said he was tired of the dog going to the bathroom in his yard.

If it isn’t trained and squats in my yeard...I assume it is feral. Even if it has a collar.
FRC Undies have been pulled tight for the last years.
That's almost commandment-level advice.
I am a REAL stickler for Richard Maybury's 'Two Laws'..."Do all you have agreed to do" and my favorite, "Do not encroach upon other persons or their property."
You’re no better than the average dog shooting cop.
Get yerself a badge there tough guy. Go to town.
Better to grab a plastic bag or shovel, retrieve the dog crap, and follow the dog walker home with it. Then toss it on their yard.
That why I’ve said would should never send 18year olds to war. Send the seniors. They are pissed-off and don’t want to die wearing depends in a nursing home. They have already lived their life. The 18yr old is full of fear he may not. Just rig them wheel chairs with tracks and machine guns. We may suffer high causality rates, but when the enemy sees them coming in armored wheelchairs they will be filled with terror
I grow rare heirloom tomatoes, and there is nothing I enjoy more than waking up in the morning, finding damaged plants surrounded by a dog’s paw prints. Some neighbors (spit, spit, spit) just don’t understand leash laws.
Reduces the backlog for the Death Panels too.
So instead of picking up the poop every day like I had been doing, I waited a week so that the offerings were in various states of decay. Then I took a shovel and threw each piece of poop onto their driveway. I made sure to use a throwing motion so that the softer, fresher items would splat into the widest area. The driveway was pretty well covered by the time I got done.
I watched as the wife pulled in from work first and saw her tip-toe through the tulips to the front door. When her hubby got home 30 minutes later, he proceeded to get a shovel and hose from his own garage and clean up the mess.
The dogs never came into our yard again, and the neighbors never asked me where the poop came from.
Why is the neighbor doing a cop’s job? I’m sure the cop’s union is going to have words with him.
You obviously view “private property” as communal; My property is NOT available to my neighbor for his individual pet’s needs or desires. unAmerican is a good start in describing your self-perceived “patriotism”.
According to you, “property rights” stops where everyone else’s pets evacuation needs begins. YOU ARE WRONG. I have pets...^which^ I control and do not offend my neighbors with their indiviudal evacuations.
Next step: the theological concept of “animism”.
I rescue dogs and foster care them. I have 3 beside me as I type. Owning dogs is a responsibility. Not controlling them in a responsible manner can get the dog killed. They need to be taught to stay on their own property, to obey and to not run out in the street. Easily done but takes responsibility a lot of owner refuse to do.
Good on ya. Same here.
>We are to love our neighbors and forgive trespasses against us.<
.
Even if they do not repent after seventy times seven times?
Sounds lke work; and more than likely, the same lazy disrespecters who weaponize their dogs would persecute the elder who dumped the anti-private-property bad neighbor's own nasty dog poo back where it belongs. People don't seem to understand the effort it takes an 80-year-old to keep digging yellow spots and replacing topsoil and grass seed in their yards from defiant gibsmedat neighbors' darling dogs. Yet if the 80-year-old's yard looks nasty, the neighbors yell about that and call the local gubmit enforcers.
Our municipality has leash laws. Dogs cannot run loose anywhere you do not own. People refuse -- refuse -- to observe those laws. Children and smaller animals get threatened or harmed by loose dogs. Lawns and expensive shrubbery get used as toilets. Fights break out. Lawsuits happen. Welcome to post-America.
Seconded.
Haha, that stuff works too fast. I am very selective on what and how often it might be used. I would never use it on a naybors dog. I would heap the poop up on the naybors doorstep for awhile. Then tag him with a bb gun or pellet gun. Only as a last resort to poison or shoot.
the owner who evidently allowed her dog to use the neighbors yard as a toilet should be shot....
He’s going to get himself arrested for impersonating a cop!
I find an airsoft gun is a good training tool. No harm done and the critter gets the idea quickly.
As for the neighbor, well, that’s why I don’t have neighbors. I cringe when I think about moving back to town.
