People in the area are still shocked after a dog was found with multiple shooting wounds. Jackson, Hayden Howard’s English Mastiff, was playing in the garden when all of a sudden he looked like he was covered in bug bites. But when Hayden looked more closely, he saw the horrible truth: Jackson had been shot more than once.

Hayden was heartbroken when he found out, so he rushed Jackson to the vet right away. A lot of small bullets from a BB gun were found by the doctor. Some were stuck under Jackson’s eyelid and in his ear. The vet had to shave Jackson’s hair to get rid of the many plastic shells. In total, 27 bullets were taken out. Twenty more shots had to be put into Jackson’s body, which was sad.

 

A lot of people are angry about what happened, and many are criticising the cruel act. Senior Police Officer Craig Hayes of the Seymour Police Department called it “a very bad case” and “sad to see.” The cops started an investigation and found that the gunfire came from a garden next door.

A neighbor’s house was searched and found to have a rifle, bullets, a BB gun, and pellets. There was also methamphetamine and drug equipment found. Many people have spoken out against the person’s deeds and called for harsh punishments.

Jackson is said to be healing well, even though he went through a lot of stress. The dog’s owner, Hayden, is glad that he is getting better. The event is a stark warning of how important it is to be kind and respectful to animals. It also shows how important it is to have stricter rules and harsher punishments for people who hurt animals.

People who use BB and pellet guns should be careful, because they can do a lot of damage. It is very important that people who use these tools to hurt animals should be punished severely by the law. Jackson’s story is a powerful reminder of how important it is to treat all living things with kindness, understanding, and fairness.
