Owner shoots dog for accident in the house - National German Shepherd | Examiner.com

Gouldsboro, PA - A 5 yr-old German shepherd was shot in the neck by her 25 yr-old owner after she had an accident in the house.
Daniel Stevens was arrested after concerned neighbors heard gunshots - and a dog's cries.

Stevens admitted to authorities that he leashed his dog to control her, and then proceeded to shoot her in the neck - for having an "accident" inside the home.

After she was shot, he placed her in a kennel to die.
Sadly, the victimized dog had survived the shooting, but was so severely injured that she had to be euthanized at the Blakeslee Animal Clinic
Unfortunately, though Stevens was arrested, he will most likely face nothing more than misdemeanor charges.

Apparently State Representative Mario Scavello hopes for tougher animal cruelty laws - consider contacting him to find out ways that you can lend your voice to the cause.

Cruelty such as that exhibited by Daniel Stevens must be punished with something harsher than a misdemeanor charge. Animal abusers must be held accountable for their deplorable behavior.

Peoples' capability for cruelty never ceases to amaze me. May that poor girl rest in peace

Each and everyday reading stories about animal abuse I only hope that there is a special place that these abusers will go to when they die, and that someday they will get pay back in some sort of way. My heart breaks for these abused animals,... there really is not anything else you can say but that poor puppy is now at peace.

That poor dog...I hate to say it, but with an owner like that, it is better off dead. What a sad story.

Nothing people do suprises me any more.
Our current foster, Shadow was rescued buy a younger guy that was hired by a lady to dig a hole for her. When he asked what the hole was for and how big she wanted it, he was told to make it about 4X4 because she was going to put that dog over there in it. He kept on taking the grandkids toys and she couldn't catch him to get them back.
Thankfully, the guy told her to dig her own

hole and took her dog instead.
He's a total sweetheart.

I just cannot believe the heartless cruelty - I know it is out there - but it is just so astounding that people can do it....and what about the people who sell these dogs to people like this??? They don't care where they go either I guess....

I shudder to think what if this guy has kids, and they have an accident in their pants... god what will he do then...

What a

idiot....

My gut reaction: let's go get him!

I hope he is shot in the neck by a drive by gangbanger, it would be so fitting. I hope he encounters a horrible life, may everything that can possibly go wrong in one's life occur to this a-hole.
