pet deaths

For ten years, a stray dog named Niño Andrade, roamed the streets of Las Colinas neighborhood, in Sincelejo, Colombia. During all this time, the dog became the neighborhood’s favorite pet. Even though he had no home or specific owner, he belonged to everyone and everyone loved him. On April 20, 2015, Niño Andrade crossed the rainbow bridge and the community came together to honor him.

There seems to be an epidemic of law enforcement officers shooting pets in our nation. News reports are filled with unjustified shootings of dogs, and police officers simply say the dog in question posed a threat to their jobs and lives.
