This incident is just sad on many levels.

About 6 months ago I went out of town and instead of leaving my dog Mack, with his usual dog sitter, Kim, I put him in a dog resort for the weekend because it was last minute. I find out a few days later that my dog sitter got beaten by her drunk boyfriend who then pulled a gun on some neighbors/ friends that tried to calm him down. He barricaded himself with Kim in the house. The swat team was called in with guns blazing and made their arrest. I can only imagine what could have happened if my Mack was there. If dogs are in the way or bark/interfere in that situation, they are often shot.
