Thats a bad situation. I don’t doubt his intent was to stop the dogs suffering, however I do question his tactics. Why not just take him to the vet and do it the right way. It’s not the 1800s where we put down our pets with a shotgun anymore. But it sounds like the guy just can’t catch a break. What are the odds of the sheriff driving by at the same time. Man!!! There has to be a reason why he is going through these terrible things, and when all is said and done I hope he is able to take with him the lessons he is meant to. Poor guy.
