Iraq War dog shot dead by ‘threatened’ cyclist
By Lindsay PutnamOctober 17, 2015 | 11:07pm
A bomb-sniffing dog who served two tours in Iraq — earning two Bronze Stars along the way — was fatally shot by a cyclist who says he felt threatened by the 52-pound Belgian Malinois.
The 9-year-old dog, Mike, had been living in Powell, Wyo., with his handler, retired Army Ranger Matthew Bessler, 43, since the pair returned from the Middle East in 2010. A friend was watching Mike when he escaped from the property and encountered the cyclist last weekend.
The cyclist claims he used his bike to block the dog’s attacks but that Mike continued his assault until he shot him in the backside with a revolver.
The cyclist sustained no injuries. There were no witnesses to the incident, though a neighbor told Bessler she heard no barking prior to the gunshot.
The cyclist has not been charged with a crime.

Fucked up and I think the cyclist is most likely lying, but it's hard to charge a citizen with something cops do every day...
I know I'm just a limp wristed foreigner but who carries a sidearm when they're out biking?
If his story is true then I guess it's good he had it. A Malinois is no joke if it actually wants to hurt you.
With no other witnesses there is no way to say, obviously.
Everybody's packin' in Wyoming, c'mon.
Anyhoo, how slow was the NY Post yesterday? Jesus.
awesome
fuck any off leash dog
should the cyclist have waited until he ended up like this guy?

Cyclists pack all kinds of weapons. Because they are fucking assholes that instigate trouble everywhere they go. 
Op left out the fact that this dog was running wild. The friend that let the dog out is at fault.

Yes this is true, here in NYC the biggest weapon they pack is their bike
Because they are all fucking faggots that zoom illegally through intersections and hit people constantly.
Bicycling has the word bi in it, so they're already half gay to begin with.
Banana seat loving faggots.

Sucks for dog and owner but as mentioned, if your dog gets loose its on you when something bad happens.

I guess es normal then lol.
Remember like I said you can't even carry a pistol in my country so obviously my perspective is different.

I just had to change three of my door handles because my fucking Cane Corso figured out how to open them(Outside doors with a lever handle). I leave my doors unlocked when I'm home and refuse to change that.
She escaped once and I thought maybe I had been careless. But then my neighbor brought her back the second time and said he saw her open the door herself.
Fucking embarrassing I tell ya.

Malinois are no joke with regard to aggression. Especially military working dogs.

I live in the Canadian Rockies bro. I'm only allowed to carry a knife and I'm still alive. I could take a long gun in theory.
^Or bear mace. I think I have some of that in a closet somewhere.
I was cycling a few weeks ago when I saw and admired this superb wold-dog outside his house... till his pitbull pal ran out chasing after me and said wolf-dog followed suit. I was going uphill and really cranked it as these bastards didn't come to play. Maybe I should be packing too.
