It is just so unacceptable to shoot a dog. I think if a neighbor shot one of my yorkies I would go postal and it would be in all the papers. I really would lose it. I think I would actually shoot the boy in my grief and claim insanity! Not shoot to kill just wound him...
It is hard enough to protect our babies from everything with out worrying about a crazy neighborhood kid. Why would a kid have access to a gun anyway - maybe the parents need to be shot too.
I'm soooo sorry for the loss of this poor baby.
