Bronze Star combat Dog murdered by bicyclist in Wyoming
 
Quote:

A bomb-sniffing combat dog who earned two Bronze Stars during two tours in Iraq in a Special Operations Forces unit was shot dead by a bicyclist in Wyoming who felt the hero canine was a threat.

Matthew Bessler's 10-year-old Belgian Malinois named Mike was shot and killed last Saturday by a bicyclist who says the dog attacked him.

Mike served with Bessler in Iraq in the U.S. Army acting as a combat dog and in bomb detection. When the pair returned from their deployment, Bessler adopted Mike. The dog helped Bessler transition from combat to normal life as he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder.

According to the Powell Tribune, the bicyclist who shot Mike told the sheriff's office that he felt threatened by a pack of dogs that he encountered while on the road. The man said he first used a bicycle as a defense but then grabbed a revolver from his bicycle-mounted holster and shot the dog.

However, Bessler ? who was out of town at the time of the shooting ? disputes the cyclist's account.

?If the guy was actually fending the dogs off with a bicycle, (Mike) would have really been barking, and there was no barking," Bessler said. "All there was was just a shot. The guests who were at the house, they said the same thing. There was no barking. It was just a gunshot.?

The 59-year-old Powell man who shot Mike has not been cited for any wrongdoing.

Veteran asks for military burial for combat dog that was shot and killed

Really messed up, so the highly trained military dog somehow got free from its yard. Then by mere coincidence a cyclist is being chased by a pack of dogs who says he's attacked shoots the military dog in front of its house. Dog was shot in the back, the cyclist had no wounds or damage to his bike from the "pack of dogs". I smell bullshit in the cyclist story :disgust

Poor dog.

Who the fuck has a holster on their bike?

A paranoid dildo that feels "in danger" everywhere.

A trained dog would never attack for no reason, and this is the WTF of the day: The 59-year-old Powell man who shot Mike has not been cited for any wrongdoing.

Wyoming is full of wild and dangerous animals. Whether it's common or not for a cyclist to have a gun, I have no clue, but I don't see it being that out of line.

Shooting the dog on the other hand...

You carry bear spray first...

This reads like an extreemly biased story. Should the biker let the dogs attack him prior to shooting one or all of them? Cops kill dogs all the time for very little reason, where is the outrage about that? I'm also pretty fucking sure that soldiers in Afghan or Iraq shot a fuck ton of dogs there when they felt threatened, why is this dog so special, just because it was a retired service dog..

L-Pink 10-18-2015 07:41 PM

And technically a responsible dog owner keeps the dog on his property or control.

I used to get attacked by wild dogs all the time hiking in the desert outside Tucson. You don't have to shoot them, just blow off a couple rounds in their general direction and they turn tail and RUN.

Spunky 10-18-2015 09:26 PM

Poor Mike ,RIP :(

According to the Dog owner he was on his property.

Quote:


Mike "would never attack someone," Bessler said. "The only time he ever protected property was when somebody stepped on to my property and looked into the back of my truck."

Bessler said he believes the man shot his dog on his property.

And its impossible for a dog to attack while facing away

The man said he shot Mike with a single round of bird shot in the rear of his body from about 5-10 feet away, but did not believe he had killed him, according to the Tribune.

A dog will chase a person on a bike. It's fun for them. A pack will chase for food or defence.

A pack of wild dogs is unlikely to allow an outsider dog join in a chase, he's more likely to become the prey.

An Army Trained dog is taught to be violent on command. They're useless otherwise as they work with a unit. There's a police dog training place in the next village. They're friendly dogs, until told otherwise or frightened. Dogs chase for fun, food or if frightened.

Or someone comes into their territory, what's the background of the killer?

I call BS on the cyclists story.

This happens about once every 90 minutes in the US, except that it's Police officers shooting the dogs....

I hope they didn't let the meat go to waste.

Exactly. What most people don't understand is that almost all dogs are pussies.

Clearly the bike is at fault. The cyclist should be charged for using an unregistered weapon. What i think is needed is more bike controls so in the future this does not happen again.

EliteWebmaster 10-19-2015 02:11 PM

I smell BS a mile away with the biker's story. It doesn't add up especially about Mike being shot in the back. This lowlife is a pussy or got his rocks off shooting a defenseless dog.

Dog killers deserve a very special place in hell.

Atleast they use normal bullets which usually instantly kill the dog. The cyclist shot the dog with bird shot causing the dog to die a slow agonizing death :(

Seth Manson 10-20-2015 03:04 AM

If he killed the dog with birdshot fired from a revolver, then the dog was close to him when the shot was fired.
