agree with him why would anyone shoot a dog!!! Sorry, I know dogs are supposed to be leashed but sometimes at night we let my dogs out around 7:30 ish in the front to run up and down the street there's grass... They love it!! they know the word car and that means stay where you are dont move a muscle...lol Anyways maybe he can get at you for the dog not being tied up but for shooting him. If he shoots your dog shoot him!

edit: I also wanted to put in that the boys next door to my grandmother shot one of her cats.... It was soo sad... They used to shoot all sorts of animals.. idiot kids
