People get upset when dogs are shot, but this case seems justified. UPDATE: Dog shot by neighbor dies from injuries, owner facing charges
Sometimes you need to defend yourself, and your family, from four-legged threats.
Bangor Police Lt. Brent Beaulieu says their investigation, aided by video evidence, shows the dog was untethered and ran “aggressively” towards the neighbor and his children, who were in a small play area in their driveway. He adds the dog leapt over a small barrier and continued running towards the family when the homeowner shot the dog. The dog then ran home.
The dog was euthanized later in the day.
The dog is identified only as a Staffordshire Terrier, though the photo looks more like a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, than an American Staffordshire Terrier. Either way, it is one of the breeds usually lumped under the heading of Pit Bull.
On Wednesday, The owner of the dog was charged with dogs at large, a civil offense, according to police.
The shooter has apparently not been charged with a crime, because self-defense is a human right.
