By G. Halek

MARTIN COUNTY, KENTUCKY — A family is grieving after their Husky was shot to death after it wandered onto a neighbor’s property. As they recalled the story, the 3-year-old Husky was playing with her older counterpart when she escaped the property and wandered into an adjoining property line. Moments later, the homeowners heard a gunshot. They raced towards the sound, fearing the worst.

“I pulled up and I’ll never forget the sight,” the owner said. “I pulled up to her and he was standing there and she was just gasping, just breathing so hard.”

Their 3-year-old Husky, Kiera, was fatally shot in the head by their neighbor. As the law reads, this act was justified because a landowner is allowed to protect himself and his property and he claimed that the dog was going after his chickens.

The family is understandably distraught after the event. It is heartbreaking to lose a dog.
