Someone wanted to steal my roller (no engine), so they fucking shot my dog Options

Warning: perhaps some rather disturbing content.

A few years ago, when my first child was born, my inlaws offered to watch my dog (at that time a 2 yr old Australian Shepherd) until we got a fence in the back yard. Well, they had so much more room (several acres as compared to my 1/8 acre), and at that time also had an old Border Collie that just adored my pup, so they decided to keep him.

Last night, someone saw my orange 74 roller (no engine) behind my father-in-law's garage. The cover had been damaged and had blown off in a recent storm. They decided to try and steal it and I guess my dog did his job by interfering. They shot him in the head.

Someone needs to explain to me again why it's wrong to kill the god damned son of a bitch that did this.

My two sons, one about to turn 4 in a week and the other 20 months old, considered the dog theirs and absolutely loved him. Now I have to explain to my 4 year old at least that the dog is gone, one of his best friends, and won't be coming back.

Obviously, they didn't get anywhere with the car.
Damn, I'm so pissed, I'm sick.
Sorry to vent, just gotta get it out...

Again, I'm sorry for bringing anyone down with this mess. I really do appreciate the support. It did help, more than I thought it would.

We've acquired a pair of Border Collies (3yrs and 10mos) from a rescue shelter. This kids so enjoyed having dogs to play with. The former family is moving and had to give them up. They are already well accustomed to young kids and the older is actually pretty well trained.

We've installed closed circuit video camera's and another light. The system will record up to 24 hours on a single VHS tape before taping over it again. If he comes back, which I doubt, hopefully we'll get more info.
