Heavily armed man abandons killing spree plans after encountering cute dog

Heh, Pet Therapy on a whole other level…

“ARF! ARF!”
"What’s that, Lassie?
“ARF!”
“You don’t want me to go on a senseless killing spree?”
“ARF ARF ARF!”
“And you want me to find a policeman and turn myself in?”
“ARF ARF!”
“Awwww… OK, girl. You talked me into it…”

Someone really needs to buy this guy a dog.

Everyone needs some friendly attention every now and then. My guess is that it’s been a while since this guy has had any.

Eesh, the Globe’s treatment of this makes me think Canada’s never going to shake the “Land of the Nice” stereotype.

I think T.O.'s city council should make some hay out this. Hell, the New Brunswick gov’t can, too. Matching pins/bumperstickers:

**TORONTO: TOO NICE TO KILL

NEW BRUNSWICK: TOO NICE TO KILL**

Here is a followup story with a picture of Elvis, the dog that was probably involved.

Aaawww, cute doggie.

Nah, I think it was probably this dog.
