Wait, That Was Your DOG I Shot? My Bad.

There used to be a beardog (I have no other term to call it) that lived down the street from me when I was younger. It was as large as a baby bear, maybe even a tad larger. The only thing that would distinguish this huge dog from a bear was its shaggier coat and the fact that it didn’t want to eat you.

The owners let the thing wander about, however, due to the animal’s demeanor and no one cared since it was really nice.. however, it was as large as a husky sized 11th grader and I never EVER understood why no one mistakenly shot that thing.

I basically lived in the woods, there were hunters everywhere, it would be an honest mistake and the only people who would have been to blame were the dog’s owners. They knew it looked like a Yogi bear but they let it out anyway. No hunter would be blamed if he shot that freaking thing…

Which brings me to this…

A Lower Saucon Township man has been charged with cruelty to animals for allegedly shooting a dog he thought was a black coyote.

Roya Babanoury, of the 3200 block of New Hill Way, Springfield Township, reported her dog missing Dec. 12 after she heard a gunshot.

David Hough, of the 1600 block of Pleasant View Road, had been hunting and initially denied involvement. After further investigation, he allegedly told Lower Saucon Township police he accidentally shot the dog, thinking it was a coyote.

He was charged last week with cruelty to animals and unsworn falsification, according to a news release issued this morning. Source

I know I don’t have all the details here, but c’mon, do you really think this guy wanted to kill someone’s dog? MAYBE, but I kinda doubt it. Keep that shit fucking tied up lady.

Also, the open mic you may or may not have went to last night at Rock N’ Joe in Bethlehem was a rousing success and it looks as though it’s going to go on bi-weekly!! SCORE!
