Who Caused The Dog’s Death? We All Did.

The Mayor’s new noise code claims its first victim as violence increases in the aftermath of the law’s enactment:

A Port Richmond couple’s Yorkshire Terrier Eddie was shot and killed in front of its owners home on Tuesday afternoon, possibly by a pedestrian angered that it barked too much, according to a published report.

Marie and Michael Buckley are upset and bewildered about who would harm their 8-year-old dog.

“It’s just horrible,” Michael Buckley told CBS-Channel 2 News. “Horrible.”

Eddie was sitting on the front stoop with the front doors open when he suddenly ran yelping into the house and was found badly bleeding in the bathroom.

“He came in like he was shot out of a cannon,” Michael Buckley told CBS. “A neighbor heard three pops.”

A veterinarian, who tried to save the dog’s life, extracted a pellet from Eddie’s intestine after it pierced the diaphragm and liver. Two other pellets were found on the ground close to where the dog was sitting.

A month ago, an anonymous note was left in the Buckleys’ mailbox complaining of Eddie’s barking, and someone would turn on a car alarm whenever the dog started barking.
