Demand Justice For the Killer Of A 14-Year-Old's Therapy Dog
- by: Judy Molland
- recipient: Colonel Darryl Forte, Kansas City Police Chief
Last Saturday 14-year-old Hannah Guzman from Kansas City, Missouri, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, watched her beloved therapy dog Tobee die, after he had been shot by her next-door neighbor.
The dog had simply wandered into the next door yard; the neighbor objected, so he went into his house, got his gun, and came back out and shot Tobee.
Hannah’s grandfather heard a shot around 8 am, and when the family realized their dog was missing, they rushed outside and found the animal under a tree in the neighbor's yard, covered by a sheet but still alive and gasping for air. The family rushed the dog to a vet, but it was too late. Doctors were unable to save the family pet, and he was euthanized later that day.
If you believe that this incident is unconscionable, please sign our petition, demanding that the man who murdered Hannah's dog be brought to justice.
Dear Colonel Forte,
Last Saturday 14-year-old Hannah Guzman of Kansas City, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, watched her beloved therapy dog Tobee die, after he had been shot by her next-door neighbor.
The dog had simply wandered into the next door yard; the neighbor objected, so he went into his house, got his gun, and came back out and shot Tobee.
Hannah’s grandfather heard a shot around 8 am, and when the family realized their dog was missing, they rushed outside and found the animal under a tree in the neighbor's yard, covered by a sheet but still alive and gasping for air. The family rushed the dog to a vet, but it was too late. Doctors were unable to save the family pet, and he was euthanized later that day.
The behavior exhibited by the Guzman's neighbor was unconscionable. Please ensure that this man be brought to justice for the murder of Hannah Guzman's therapy dog.
Thank you so much for your time.
Update #19 years ago
Great news! Ross Bumgardner has been charged with killing this dog. Now we need lots more people to sign our petition, to make sure he suffers the consequences of killing the therapy dog of an autistic teenager.
Thank you for your support!
