For several months, the family nursed Bear back to health and soon he was a normal running and jumping pup. Bear soon became a beloved member of the family. However, earlier this month, on December, 10, all that love would come to an end.
According to Fry, Bear was secured to a cable leash in his backyard when she heard him barking at the construction workers working on an abandoned house next door. Fry says that Bear was a 'barker', so this was nothing out of the ordinary. But when the barking was brought to a halt by the sound of gunfire, Fry panicked.
"Thank god the kids were at school," Fry said in an interview with PuppycideDB.com
When Fry got up to see what was going on, she heard more shots. Fry recalls those frightening moments:
I hear 2 gunshots. As I'm getting up I hear the third. As soon as I'm standing, I can see out my side window. Police. Fourth shot. I look at what they're doing & see my dog on the ground. My dog starts screaming. I scream. More shots. Five, six, seven, eight. There's 2 cops taking turns shooting him with smiles on their faces. I run out yelling "What the hell!!!!!" They said "Is this your dog?" "Yes!!" I replied. "What happened??!!" The officer said (& I quote!!) "Well you don't have a dog anymore. He's done now!" & laughed in my face.
My 1yr old puppy that I did everything in my power to save was laying there dead. They shot my dog like he was a human coming at them with a gun.
