It's not likely to be a good day in court for this guy. The news story contains zero in support of his claim, but mucho to refute it. If you trust the news media. In King County, WA.

So have I, and yes they can, and regardless of the 'tricky' parts a few things I read in this are a bit disturbing:I've had a few encounters. Big dogs can really suck at times.
So stopping the threat wasn't enough and he had to psychotically execute the dog while screaming profanities - and placing the girl in danger by shooting close to her?Tyson was circling the girl while whining and limping when Madden shot the dog a second time, killing him, while screaming profanities. Police estimated Madden was about 8 feet away from the girl when he fired his gun the second time,
Boastful? Like something he has been wanting to do ?The neighbor told police Madden was boastful about shooting the 11-year-old's dog when he asked about it,
Oh my, a barking dog behind a fence ? Maybe he should have taken a different path if this affected him. I live with a neighbor with four dogs on my back fence (and another with one (German Shepherd) on another side and they routinely 'go up to the fence' - and bark.Madden told police that every time he walked past the 11-year-old girl's home, the boxer would bark at his dog and go up to the fence
These things indicate a most likely unstable person, drunk with power over owning a gun and he finally found his way to killing something.Madden did not express "remorse" about shooting the dog in front of the girl, according to documents.
Completely understand, and have been close to doing the same a time or two.Dog encounters are a tricky one.
. . . . Don't be surprised if I kick the bubblegum out of your dog if it comes running aggressively in the direction of my domestic companionship bred breed dog and my 30 pound son.

He makes it sound premeditated. On his part.The article said:Madden told police that every time he walked past the 11-year-old girl's home, the boxer would bark at his dog and go up to the fence, according to documents.
Good point as well !He makes it sound premeditated. On his part.
I agree. Yet there is a difference between a friendly dog charging you and an unfriendly one.Completely understand, and have been close to doing the same a time or two.
Much more often, though, it's just a false alarm; my own "domestic companion" tends to see only the teeth, never the tail-wagging. In fact, she's close to peeing her pants anytime a big, high-energy dog comes bounding too close. That'd be anything much bigger than a Yorkie.
The solution then? Depends . . . not violence.
from the sounds of the article the girl tripped or her dog overpowered her. Regardless, her dog didnt end up attacking the other dog and recalled when the girl called him back. The other guy had no reason to shoot the girls dog over a mishap encounter is what I see in this story.Responsible dog owners are like responsible gun owners, never in the headlines!
Yeah, i am not blaming the girl. I own and always have owned large dogs. I am responsible even when a little old lady's dog tried eating my 120-pound Shepard mix. he held the little dog down with a paw. My gun is under my control. my dog may bite if provoked. As a gun owner and dog owner I accept the responsibility Not to injure others on accident. That said if you get in my house One will heel you so the other can finish you! I'd rather get shot than eatenfrom the sounds of the article the girl tripped or her dog overpowered her.

I see a frightened 'city boy', who probably lives a sheltered life never off the concrete, and became a 'golf cart gun owner' and propped up with the false sense of security it gave him he lost his entire sense of reasoning.The other guy had no reason to shoot the girls dog over a mishap encounter is what I see in this story.
He was going to go to obedience training next week. He wanted to be a seeing-eye dog.Tomorrow we will read about how the dog was a rescue and was just turning his life around.
