Where does the dog's owner's responsibility begin and end in all this? What if Dustin had had his Yorkie in the back yard???
Don't you think the couple had MUCH of the liability in this case because they let Shadow run around off-leash?
The article doesn't say, but was this a place they'd been before? I would never let my dog loose to run around a strange town. But I've seen other people do it...

I understand what you're saying but this man was convicted of animal cruelty, if the dog was menacing or threatening he would be in the right to shoot the dog. The authorities obviously felt he had no right to shoot the dog. The dog was no threat to him or anything on his property. This case is about people who maliciously cause injury or even death to an animal.
