Our Lovely Foggy Shot Dead In Our Garden, Airgun crime Options

[FoggysDad]

At approximately 0700 BST on August 1, 2008, our beautiful Bedlington terrier, Foggy, aged just 7, entered our enclosed garden and began his daily ritual of exploring, relieving himself and preparing for a longer walk before breakfast. Minutes later, at around 0710, he screamed after being shot in his flank.

He leaves behind Kookie, another Bedlington (aged an impressive 15), his two owners, Sue and Simon, and their two sons, Andrew and Paul. As everyone will attest, he was an extremely affectionate and playful character who brought immense joy to those around him. We were so fortunate to have him in our lives.

We know that he was shot with a precision air rifle. The sharpened vermin pellet punctured his heart. He died within 20 minutes on the way to the local veterinary surgery. Worst of all, he suffered greatly and died in Sues arms as Simon desperately tried to reach the surgery in time. Needless to say, they will never fully recover from this traumatic experience. The family has been stripped of a core emotional asset; indeed, Foggy was an integral part of the family unit, who brought boundless joy, healing and companionship to all its members.

Hi, FoggysDad, please permit me to offer you my sincerest sympathies in the loss of your beloved Foggy. Losing a beloved furchild is never easy, but is especially traumatic when the cause is a deliberate act of murder. A little kitty I had when I was a very young child was shot by a bebe gun and died from blood poisoning on Thanksgiving Day. So, I do understand your deep sorrow. May I ask if the police arrested the horrible perpetrator of this crime and if that person is being prosecuted for the death of your beloved Foggy? Not that this would ever comfort your heart, but it would bring some form of justice for Foggy, I would hope. There was no justice 50 years ago for my little Willie, and I was devastated from the loss of my little buddy. Please know you and your entire family are not alone in your grief journey from this horrible loss. We are here for you for as long and as often as you need us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, FoggysDad, and please keep us posted as to how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
