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.

Dear FoggysDad,

There is little less that is worse than a murderer of a precious pet. Especially while still on our own property. What a loss of a human soul, not to know the love of an animal. I've ALWAYS said, "There should never be more people than animals in this world". My Heart is breaking for you. I Pray Foggy comes to you in your dreams to lessen your pain by telling you he is O.K. now. My Nickels never met a dog he didn't love. He once approached a rottweiller and rolled on his back. The rottweiller didn't know what to do since Nickels didn't run from him. They ended up being the best of friends. I know Nickels is playing with Foggy and keeping him company until you meet again. I can just see them romping in a beautiful meadow next to the Rainbow Bridge, waiting for us.

My deepest sympathies go out to your family. Please, come back as often as you need to. There are so many wonderful fur parents that feel your pain. I am soooo sorry for your loss.
