Why can't farmers use a tranquilser gun or something? Or a sound like the screech of a personal alarm, that would get the dog's attention. There must be another way, surely? I know it must be upsetting for the sheep but killing a dog doesn't make it better. Now the owners are all grieving for a loved one who accidently saw some sheep. I can't help wondering if the farmer just happened to have a gun on him at the time, or if he had to go back and get one? If so, he should have stayed and tried to get the dog by other means. How about farmer's dogs? If they have sheep, they could have collies or a tractor/buggy/thingy. I have seen this, so why not go back and get his little buggy instead of a gun? Sorry, but I get so angry with farmers like him! God bless Caspian, safe in the arms of God now, and bless his owners. You are in our thoughts and hearts. x

How absolutely tragic. However, not all farmers are tarred with the same brush as many have fed and helped capture many lost dogs on this site. My thoughts are with Caspian's family at this awfully sad time. Run free at the bridge dear Caspian xx

So sorry, I agree with Radar Ears some farmers can be trigger happy, I have a friend whose pointer was shot in front of her even as she was trying to call it back and the farmer was standing beside her, but would not hear her pleas! Run Free Caspian xx

I'm so very sorry to hear that Caspian didn't make it home - such awful news. Rest in peace lovely girl - sweet dreams...x

That's the worst of living near farms, most farmers will shoot on sight, because to them, as we all know, dogs are not seen as pets,they are just seen as threats to their livelihood, when seen to be worrying their sheep.

If he had any compassion, which he obviously didn't, he could have called the dog and it would have probably come to him and he could have re-united her with her owners.

RIP Caspian,

Caspians owners called me back and it seems this post dated 13th December was from when she ran off last time ( but was then reunited)
However Caspian escaped again only YESTERDAY and was shot by the farmer last night -- as it was claimed she had been worrying his sheep.
Run free at Rainbow Bridge xxxx

I rang owners to get some more information or a picture of Caspian as saw a malamute for rehoming at Llanstinan Kennels . Owner was extremely upset when he told me Caspian had been shot so I didn't ask any further. My thoughts are with his devastated owners.
Rest in Peace Caspian xxxx
