I still couldn't shoot it. It's a dog - it didn't intentionally do this to cause me and my family sorrow....it had a natural prey instinct, and it just happened. Sure, I was angry, but I can't justify killing a dog...our cat got out accidentally, and the dog acted on its instinct. Yes, I wanted to hurt her, and yes, I wanted to let her out in the street and shut the door behind me....but I could never bring myself to act on that.
