Someone is being very rude and mean and shooting my dog Shiloh with those soft air pellet things. I haven't SEEN anyone actually shoot at him but the last couple of days when I let him out to go potty, he'll start to bark (he isnt a nusence barker, he only sounds off for a reason) and I go outside to find my yard littered with little yellow airgun pelets. I'm starting to get slightly angry. I don't know who is doing it (although I suspect its the same neighbors we've been having problems with, but it could be the doorbell ditchers we've been dealing with reciently too)
As I haven't seen anyone do anything, I'm hesitant to call the police as they arent going to patrol extra just because someone is being retarded with a toy (well air guns are NOT toys IMO but the cops seem to think so since they dont shoot "deadly" rounds). I'm almost tempted to set up a security watch system so maybe I can catch an image of someone doing something.
What else can I do? I don't want to deny poor Shiloh his outside time (he's a german shepard mix and requires a good bit of exercise) but at the same time I don't want him getting hurt. He's never outside when we aren't home, and I think Im going to have to supervise him more carefully when he is out. Grrrr some idiots!! Why shoot at a poor old dog?
