People love their pets unconditionally and many are ready to pay a large amount in case their pet goes missing.?
A man spent almost a week looking for his missing dog but what he found was a ruthless note that mentioned that his 10-month-old wolf-dog had been shot and killed for straying into a stranger's property while without a leash.
Chad Stricker’s dog named Nymeria?disappeared after going on her nightly walk around his 10-acre property with his other dog named Ghost.
Nymeria was blind in one-eye she wore a large tag on her collar with her address, photo and even with a description of her personality, in case she was lost. Six days passed and there was no information about the pooch.?
Chad, from Pearl River County, Mississippi, spoke to the Sun Herald and said, "I looked every day, multiple times a day. There were some days I came home early from work to look. I posted on social media, asked neighbours and drove up and down roads."
His search came to a devastating end when he found a bag containing his dog’s collar in his mailbox on December 19. The collar was accompanied by an anonymous note that read: ‘I'm sorry to inform you that your dog was shot and killed Saturday night while digging through my garbage. It did not suffer and I did not take pleasure in killing It. There is a county leash law which you should abide by so that I do not have to kill any more of your pets.'
Chad was left in tears after reading the note and took time to come to terms with the fact that someone had actually killed his dear pet.?
"I was sick to my stomach. To think that someone killed her while we had been out looking for her, for digging in the garbage... An animal is not worth more than your trash or the time to make a phone call?" Sun Herald quoted him as saying.?
Chad contacted the local police but was told that since the dog was on someone else’s property they could be of no help.?
The leash law in the Pearl River County area requires that dogs be kept on a leash or behind a fence.
