I am all for upholding the safety of people. However, when it is at the cost of another person's safety (and their homes, property and extended 4-legged family) there has to be a stop to it.

Someone firing a gun on another's property is a life threatening situation. Trespassers have no idea of what is or isn't on the property. How would they know if a child has a tree house or fort on the property?

If this situation is as it has now been printed - the hunters had the "right" (whatever that means) to fire on the dog. However, if they truly NEEDED to - we'll never know.

Hug your dogs and keep them close.
