Well, not really. But I just read that a man in Winchester, Virginia, decided to beat his dog to death because it bit him. It’s a 30-pound shar-pei. Raymond Poore Jr., 43, decided to beat the dog with a gun.
Somehow he managed to fatally shoot himself.
If the guy was so pissed off at his dog that he wanted to kill it (bastard), why would he BEAT it with a LOADED GUN? Dude, turn it around. Luckily the guy was too stupid to live. I hope the dog ate part of him before the cops arrived.
Heh, heh. According to the report, “The wife came home about 6 p.m. and found her husband unconscious, with a number of dog bites and scratches.”
Sounds like a shoe-in for a Darwin award.
Good grief. Did none of you ever see Richard Adams’ Plague Dogs? I tell you, animated dogs are shooting their owners all the time…
Umm… cite?
For which post?
the O one.
Good, this cheered me up.
I wonder how the dog is doing?
That man deserved it.
Oh, well, one less listener for Dr. Laura. 
I have it from a subscription site and will post a link when I find it on a non-sub site.
Ooops.
Thanks, Ino.
Don’t know if he was too stupid to live, but definitely too stupid to own a dog or a gun.
Shar-peis, also known as Chinese fighting dogs, were bred for dog-fighting.
Makes me wonder if he purposely bought a dog with a bad-ass reputation and then was surprised when it bit.
Sounds like his shot was sharper than his bite…
(not even a good play on words, I know)
Chalk one up for animal rights.
I’ve now read that, unfortunately, the dog was destroyed.
What? Are they considering ruling it a homicide?
Poor dog.
