We had beautiful weather, (17°C, sunshine) at Wednesday afternoon, so my friend called me, asking me , if I would have been interested in walking with her dogs in our neighborhood. I answered that it was a good idea, and we met at our house. We just walked about ten minutes, when we suddenly heard a shot in front of us!
A dog, a Black Retriever,like the dog of my friend, was wining, crossed the street, broke together and began to die.
Two children, one older boy and his little brother had to watch their own neighbor in the opposite with the pistol in his hand, shooting the dog, and then he just went into his house, as if nothing had happened before!
The children and my friend and me were all pretty shocked! The boy's mother came, another car stopped, they all couldn't believe what they saw!
The police came, not very interested in that incident,(there exists a rule that you can shoot your own dog in your garden, it is legal!
), and the man who had shot,came out later, told suddenly a fairy story about having no choice, because he had to save his wife's life. He talked about that "very dangerous, suddenly agressive dog"etc.... The boys told us later the truth. The dog came one week before to the neighbors house, he had adopted it, and it was a very friendly dog. The boys often had played with him.
The next day my friend and me had an appointment with the police, because we wanted to write a report as witnesses in case of anyone would like to something against the dangerous shoot-out in the middle of a neighborhood and in front of the children! That couldn't have been legal!
But there is no chance for any charge or warning against the man who had shot! The only person who could do something is the mother of the two boys, but she is ancious, because the man is living in front of her!
I can understand her, but it is a little bit like in an old "Wild West Movie"!
What do you think about it?
