A family in Pikeville is now mourning the loss of their pet and wants answers. Dipper joined the family almost three years ago as a stray and the family immediately fell in love. He was family. He was, I mean, that was my friend. That was probably my best friend. He had a big personality. He was a goofy dog. He liked to run. Meyer often took her dogs for a run through town. We kind of had a routine. I have a leash that goes around my waist and he has a harness that he goes in and we run around the pond. However, on Saturday, Dipper somehow escaped from his harness and went toward the Pikeville pond through a neighbor's driveway. It had been maybe two or three minutes. I was thinking about how I was going to get him back on his harness. I heard the neighbor shouting for his gun. So I ran over to the edge of his driveway and I could see Dipper had run all the way to the bridge. So too far to even call him to come back. And he said it was illegal for the dog to be on his property and he was going to shoot him. And I said, you don't need to shoot him. He's not aggressive. I'm trying to get him back. I've got his empty leash in my hands. But it was too late. Dipper was shot in between the eyes. It was a lot of shock and just not understanding. You know, I just couldn't comprehend why it had happened. According to the family, the alleged shooter said the dog attacked him and he felt threatened. Now the family just wants peace for those living on Scott Avenue. I want things to be made right for Dipper, but I want peace for my family. That's what I want. I want my kids to know that they're safe and protected. The Pikeville Police Department declined to go on camera, but did confirm there's an open investigation on the case.
