Sure. Dog was loose with collar and harness on. It was on state land, and hunter misidentified the dog and shot it on the hiking trail. Plenty of errors occurred, to ruin it for all.
No doubt. The dog paid the price for an irresponsible owner. The hunter may have meant to kill the dog. Hunters seem to think they are guardians of game.
I really don’t miss living near state game lands. Lots of clowns on every side.
