A 14-year-old says her Chihuahua, named JoJo, was shot and killed by a neighbor Tuesday afternoon on Asbury Park on Detroit's west side, MyFoxDetroit.com reported.
The teen said she let her one-year-old dog out, then went inside. �When she came back out, her neighbor told her to put her dog in the house.
"When he saw my dog running out of the bushes, [he said], 'I'm going to handle him myself,' and then I guess my dog had run back up on him again, and he just shot him," the owner explained.
However, the neighbor has a license to carry, and police say he told them he felt he was being attacked by the dog that wasn't on a leash.
"[He] couldn't have [felt] threatened at all by this little Chihuahua," said the dog's owner. �"[The] dog is not big at all."
Detroit Dog Rescue took the dog away to be cremated, calling this a sad reality about pet ownership.
"My sympathy goes out to the young lady losing her dog. �It's a shame, and it shouldn't have happened, but also, too, this is a harsh reminder of responsibility," said Dante Dasaro from Detroit Dog Rescue.
