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.

I have read your post several times and every time I am just at a loss for words, I am aching deeply for my own loss and yet want to offer my deepest condolence for yours. Our hearts ache in unison at this site; I have found it so helpful to come here when I'm in the depths of pain (like late at night, when Elliott would come and pester me to go to bed). So please know that my heart goes out to you.
With care,
Mikki
