RE: DOG SEASON has officially started
As much as you want to "off" the dog yourself, let me recommend you think about it for a minute. Not sure where your from but I am in law enforcement and it is a felonyhere to shoot a dog. This pos dog and owner are not worth you having a felony on your record.
I would want to whack that sob myself, but I would strongly recommend you pursue the legal avenues suggested above, sue the owner, and talk to law enforcement and FILE A REPORT. At the very minimum get a history started on the owner and dog.
later,
