 You can't do something like this and then not feel some kind of remorse and awful because he's with this dog all the time. It's his partner. But remorse is not an excuse. Just like ignorance of the law is not an excuse. You're absolutely right. You still have to be charged for killing a dog. Like when I take Maggie, if I have Maggie with me, and for those of you who don't know, Maggie is my golden retriever that just turned 15 about a month and a half ago, which is extraordinarily long for a golden retriever, about four years longer than normal.
