Bullet in right side of skull.
Little, who had suffered from depression, died 45 minutes later at the hospital.
It’s tragic, of course. As dog lovers, we’re left relieved that the dog is OK. But looking at it from another angle, if the dog had taken the bullet, the woman would still have a husband (however troubled he may have been), and if he had kids, they’d still have a dad. So relief is mixed with a “what if”? I am happy that the dog did not die, but I find it very sad that the man did not get the help he needed. What do you think, Dogsters?
