MANCHESTER, MO — When one dog was shot after wandering into a neighbor’s yard and reportedly threatening a resident, he died, and the dog’s family wants answers.

They think their dog didn’t have an aggressive bone in his body.

As KMOV reports:

Jackie Dukart says she is not sure how her dog Ruger got out of the house on October 4. She said she later saw him coming up the driveway.

“I could tell something was wrong. I got him in the house and he was bleeding, he had a gunshot wound,” said Dukart.

Ruger died a short time later. Police said a neighbor was in his driveway when Ruger approached him in an “aggressive manner, growling and barking. The resident, who felt threatened and feared the dog was going to attack him, shot the dog.”

Dukart says her dog was never known to be aggressive.

“I’m not denying he would bark, dogs bark. He was never aggressive. I’ve never seen it. Ruger has lots of friends, the neighborhood knows Ruger,” said Dukart.

The family has hired an attorney.
