A dog was shot and killed on Thanksgiving morning in Davie, said police.
"It's just so surreal," said Danny Abou, the dog's owner. On Thursday, a cyclist peddling through the Whispering Pines community shot and killed Abou's 2-year-old Doberman Pinscher, named Scooby.
"He just kept saying, 'I'm feeling threatened, I'm feeling threatened,'" said Abou, describing what the man said after the shooting.
Abou described Scooby as docile and said he was not the type to attack or go after anyone.
Davie police have not released the name of the shooter but Abou was told he will likely not face any charges because Scooby was not on a leash. Police said the shooter did have a permit to carry the gun.
Abou said he rescued Scooby in June and was training him to work with the ill and the elderly as a therapy dog.
