AR-News: (US ME) Dog killing leads family to move out

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

CHINA -- Melissa Coulombe doesn't allow her daughter, Faith, outside anymore. 
The child is not being punished, and Faith is not sick. 
Melissa Coulombe is afraid her 1-year-old daughter will be shot if the girl 
sets foot outside her family's South China home. Someone recently shot her dog, 
and Melissa Coulombe said her family can't get out of town soon enough. 
In an incident that has baffled the town's constable and convinced the 
Coulombes they are not welcome in China, Melissa Coulombe's 4-year-old dog, Mookie, 
was shot dead three weeks ago, just a few hundred feet from her home.
