I had a shepard mix once that was an escape artist and must have been kin to bill clinton. He could smell a bitch in heat a mile away. One day the deputy came by and warned me that a neighbor had told him he would shoot the dog if found in his yard again. I explained I understood and would try harder to keep the animal confined, but, as I say, he was an escape artist and the neighbor held true to his word, I had no ill feeling about that whatsoever.
I have the same situation and the same kind of dog. I live in a semi rural area and I take my neighbor at his word. Should he end up killing my dog I’ll be quite devastated but I wont be gunning for the guy who shoots him.
