Newsflash-
If you walk onto someone else's property and shot their dog because yo thought it look threatening to you, and continued to fire at the dog as it ran away, you will go to prison.
Right or wrong, shooting someone's pet will land you in prison. Its just an animal, but animal rights activists and suburban bleeding heart yuppies have pretty much demanded that pets be treated as people in such cases.
In my area alone, there were a pair of teenagers who threw a live baby in an outhouse during winter- only one is doing time for it, less than 6 years. There have been cases of people in the same area shooting neighbors cats that happen to wander into their yards with the shooters getting up to 8 years in prison.
I know a lady in Milwaukee who had to call the police on domestic disturbance issue. She had a fenced off area in her back yard where her collie lived. The cops that came around to the back door shot the dog on sight just because it wasn't on a leash, nevermind that it was in a fenced in environment.
Cops are not held to the same standards as the rest of us.

Sorry Matt G- this post wasn't aimed at you. I wrote it before I read your post. I think in your case, shooting the damn dog could have been a beter choice.
