Megan:
You wanted lots of opinions and you got them.
I agree with everybody. If you think there is the slightest possibility that your father will shoot at or "around" the dog (whatever that means) PLEASE,PLEASE try to find a good home for him/her. If it doesn't happen now, there may be some other time when your father doesn't like something that the dog does and the results could be much worse.
I would also like to know the circumstances. How were you playing with the pup and what made him react in such way. Agressive behavior can be corrected, but not if you encourage it when you play with the dog.
Please let us know how this very sad story develops and ends.
