Neighbor Shot My Dog?

Q: It's a little more complicated than "oops, my dog got out and was shot by the neighbor". and I'm NOT really looking for "he's a sick *** ** * ***** *** *** ***" I'm actually just flustered, and looking for ideas on how to get justice, I feel unsafe with this guy in the neighborhood as nobody really knows him and the few that do just say he's a deranged rednech with a drinking problem....I live in Martinsville, IN on Lake Edgewood, which is a private community surrounding the lake, as it is fairly small in size.The roads surrounding the lake are Privately Owned, and have fairly long driveways (estimated 50ft) One day while I was at work, my dog (Dash) managed to get out of our yard when my grandmother let him outside to potty and whatnot. I got a call at work that my dog had been shot, but was still alive.I have a very sweet and playful boxer/lab mix just over a year old, he's very curious as he loves to play with the dog next door and across the street and none of the other neighbors ever complain if he gets out, infact the people acrost the street also have 3 children ages 4-8 and they all love him. The leash laws are definitely a concern, but what I don't understand is how do I keep my dog from getting loose when I live on a lake, if the dog wants to leave, he'll leave...I can't put up a fence around the water...and I have a huuge yard, that just wouldn't be suitable for a tie down, and he's an outside dog, I just can't stay outside with him 8 hours a day. and on top of that, there are about 6 dogs that wander the lake together throughout the year (seeing how the lake and surrouding roads/areas are privately owned), I've had several visits from other dogs, seemingly great friends with my dog (Dash). The man that shot my dog claimed that he had been cornered in his garage and that my dog was grownling at him, and that it was the 3rd time that it's happened. But if this has happened 3 times, why was I not told? Why was the Humane Society not contacted?The neighbor accrost the street from him was the one that found my dog laying in the STREET, crying and bleeding due to the shot in his LEFT SHOULDER...he said he went outside after he heard 3 RAPID gun shots and my dog was hit once, which tells me that my dog was NOT in his garage like he claimed, also the Vet told me that the bullet was not very deep, if it were point black range it would have killed him and told me that he ESTIMATED that the dog was anywhere from 100 to 150 feet away, with the given velocity of the gun used (.22 handgun)just wondering, how do you shoot a dog for growling, barking or threatening you if it's 100-200 ft away??what ticks me off is that:Its illegal to fire a weapon in a residential area, especially with kids out playing and whatnot...other dogs run around the lake all year long, why shoot my dog?No respect, I've never heard about this problem from him or anyone else before...He shot my dog and left him in the street! there are kids around, what if the neighbors didn't go outside to see what was going on and their kids found one of the neighborhood dogs dead, and bleeding all over the street?There is NOTHING the police will even listen to, they couldn't give a shyt, and the VET told me they see this all the time, due to carelessness of peoples pets and the police department...Not to mention, it's a small town, so there's probly not much point in talking to a newspaper about it...I need ideas people, what Can I do to justify what has been wrong?I'll post more information as needed....As I said before, I DON'T allow my dog to roam free with the many others that DO!my yard IS INDEED fenced in, but I live on a lake front property, there is ONLY so much I can fence, I can NOT make a seperate fencing is any area of my yard as it all has to be approved by the community board, which makes the community look "trashy"My grandma is 74 years old, and could not keep up with my dog, who is usually very responsive to her call and DOES NOT run off on a dail basis...The fact that the dog was loose, does NOT give him the RIGHT to shoot at an animal in a res. neighborhood...

A: The person who shot your dog was obviously wrong.You, however, are the cause of the issue because of your failure to keep your dog contained. Excuses don't cut it ~ it is your job to figure out how to keep your dog home or you risk its death.
