Angry Neighbor Shoots Teen’s Therapy Dog

The Guzman family of Kansas City lost their precious Tobee because of a neighbor with a gun.

Hannah Guzman, 14, who suffers from Asperger Syndrome, said that Tobee “was like a therapy dog” to her.

“I get really stressed out,” she told Fox 4 KC. “School is stressful, life is stressful, and that dog was always there for me. He was just really important to me.”

“The dog was in his yard or somewhere,” added Hannah. “The neighbor went into his house, got his gun, and came back out and shot my dog.”

The neighbor, who admitted he shot the dog, told Fox 4 KC that he was “defending his family.”

“He has our phone number,” stated Hannah. “He could’ve called the police, animal control. We probably would’ve been willing to pay the fine for him being loose.”

The Guzmans say the same neighbor had threatened to shoot their pooch in the past.

“He felt like coming out and shooting the dog was his only recourse, and I don’t understand that,” said Katy.
