In our previous house there was a guy down the street with 40 or 50 A frames out back. We had a yellow lab that got out and killed one of his roosters and brought it home. I guess he was a forgiving person and didn’t say anything and I got the hole in the fence fixed and put an invisible fence collar on her. Well a couple weeks later she jumped the 4’ fence and I guess took the shock on the way over. Later the wife called all upset the dog had 3 or 4 #8 pellets in her rump. I had to come home from work and take the dog into the vet to get the shot outta that butt. Wife was fit to be tied when I told her if that d^*#*% dog gets out and kills another rooster I’ll shoot it myself. I can’t stand a dog that runs off and kills another man’s livelihood. Costed me several hundred for fencing and collar and vet when a $.25 shell would’ve solved it right quickly. She kept the dog tight to her after that and quite letting it out unsupervised.
