70+ Shots, Dog Survives! Neighbor Arrested

Last spring, Hayden Howard noticed something was wrong with her English Mastiff, Jackson, who had been playing in the backyard. When she called him inside, she initially thought he had been severely bitten by insects. However, a closer inspection revealed much more serious injuries.

Upon visiting the veterinarian, it became clear that Jackson had been shot multiple times. The vet had to shave large patches of Jackson’s fur to remove the bullets—a total of 27 were extracted.

Due to the severity of the injuries, several bullets had to be left in place to prevent further harm. In addition to the bullets removed, the veterinarian identified approximately 20 more gunshot wounds scattered across Jackson’s body.

Shockingly, Jackson had been shot over 70 times in total. Following an investigation, authorities discovered spent bullet casings and a firearm in a nearby home.

It was later revealed that the neighbor had a history of drug-related offenses.
