As I stated, grief first and then compassion, yes. But I'm an old Christian family doctor who has treated police officer injuries and dog bite injuries, so I concede that I am not a Disneyland kind of person.
Neither am I, but it's a long way from the dispassionate and clinical treatment of an injury in your surgery, to watching a much loved pet shot to death before your very eyes. I guess we're all a little surprised that you would put the shooter first, in that circumstance.
