A Kremmling family is distraught after their four-month-old husky was shot to death outside their yard Monday afternoon, but police say no crime occurred.
On Monday evening, the Grand County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home in Kremmling on Depot Avenue where a dog had gotten out of its fenced yard and onto a neighboring ranch causing the rancher’s son to shoot the dog twice.
Around 4 p.m. Monday, Jeffrey Fowler, Jr., who is staying with his sister Gwendolyn Cook at her home in Kremmling, heard the first gunshot and went to see what was happening. Fowler said he saw his sister’s puppy, Demon, had escaped their fenced yard and was bleeding on the ground outside the fence, near the railroad tracks that border the property.
Fowler said he saw a pickup truck near the dog and watched as the driver took a semi-automatic rifle and shot the dog a second time, killing it. Then the driver of the truck took the dog’s body and discarded it in a field, he said.
“It was the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said. “I yelled at him and I wish I would have had my phone on me, so I could have videotaped it, but I was in such shock, I didn’t even consider it.”
