The day after Thanksgiving our family dog, Stella, was shot on private property off of Edwards Branch Road only 200 feet from our house. Thankfully, I was in our side-yard playing with the kids when I heard the shot go off above my head and was able to reach her in less than two minutes. We thank God everyday this irresponsible "hunter" didn't hit one of the kids and had such lousy aim.Stella's in for a long healing process; the vet said it was the worst gun shot she's seen in a long time (Thank you Unicoi Animal Hospital and Dr. Karen Shelton and staff!!).Please, if anyone knows anything about the shooting, contact the Unicoi County Sheriff’s Department. A report has been filed.
