Lol. Little narc...Me and the GF can't be home all day. We have work, school, etc. We have a pen set up in the garage with a doggy door to the outside. I can't help things when I'm not at home. If I'm home, I'll make sure they keep it under control. If a neighbor shot one of my dogs, I'd be very, very unhappy. I would find out who did it and press full charges. I'm sure that person would also have an unfortunate series of flat tires...all 4 of them, every day until they moved. Ive lived by people that let their dogs bark non-stop at all hours of the night/morning. It's annoying but I dealt with it. Takes a sad individual to hurt someone's pet.
