Anchorage man shoots neighbor's Chihuahua
Posted: Sunday, March 21, 2010
ANCHORAGE - Police say an Anchorage man shot and killed his neighbor's 10-year-old Chihuahua this week, escalating a long-standing dispute over roaming dogs.
The 74-year-old has been charged with reckless endangerment, cruelty to animals and fourth-degree misconduct with a weapon. Police say he has been released on $500 bail with the condition that he not possess any firearms.
The shooting Sunday afternoon grew out of previous meetings between the 8-pound male dog and a larger female he couldn't seem to resist.
