Not sure if the owners are members of the forum but wanted to send my condolences. This was on CNN.
Muncie - A Muncie couple is warning their neighbors after a group of dogs brutally mauled a pair of their miniature show horses.
They may have been little, but Bob and Voneta Adams say the happiness their miniature horses brought to thousands of fans across the country as part of Little Hitch Miniature Horse Show was huge.
"You didn't have to tell them 'Giddy up'," said owner Bob Adams. "They were a joy."
Now that joy has turned to sorrow after the Adamses say three dogs attacked and killed 16-year-old Pistol and seven-year-old Tiny.
"Somebody owes us a pretty big apology," Adams said.
"If you're responsible for your pet, this wouldn't have happened," said Adams' wife, Voneta.
The couple made the terrible discovery Monday afternoon in the very pen where Tiny and Pistol played. Their beloved pets were torn apart, with three big dogs running around them.
"They were more than just horses," Bob Adams said. "It was totally senseless. It didn't have to happen."
"There was a lot of fighting that went on and a lot of blood spilled," said Voneta Adams.
Bob Adams admits to shooting and killing one of the dogs and wounding another, who ran off with the third dog. He says he has one regret.
"That I didn't get a clean shot on all three of them," he said.
The Adamses are warning neighbors who have livestock that if the dogs killed once, they could do it again.
"Be on guard," Bob Adams said.
He also putting their neighbors with dogs on notice.
"We have so many dog owners out here that just leave their dogs run loose," he said.
If those dogs end up in the couple's yard again, Adams says they'll shoot first and ask questions later.
