re: Neighbor shot my girlfriend's dog

Assuming the guy is telling the truth:
I love animals, but I love my kids more. If a strange dog is in the yard and is acting aggressive, then I'll try and run him off. The dog better run off, b/c if there is any question in my mind that the dog does not view me as above it in the pecking order, then I'll do what is necessary to ensure the kids are protected. Pretty easy, kids > dogs. Owner can come try to beat me within in inch of my life, but I'm thinking they would have an indication of how that might end.

If he's lying and just killed the dog to shoot something, then he is a POS.

The neighbor ends up admitting to shooting her dog. Claims that at the time her dog was in his yard, his female dog, who is in heat, and his son were also in the yard. Claims that her dog growled at his son, so he shot the dog

You lose.

I can understand if the dog attack the little boy then I take the dog out too but his story seems little fishy.

So you let the dog start attacking your kid before doing something about it?

I'm not saying that the first reaction should be to shoot the dog, but it was out (a.k.a. not locked up on its owner's property) and around a female in heat (which makes them do some weird shite).

Again, not saying he should've shot anything, and his initial lie makes things seem odd, but there isn't much the gf can do IMO since she was basically the irresponsible party in this situation and let the dog get out and into trouble.

He was a good kid

he lied about owning a gun

To the cop or on an official report? I'm not saying the guy isn't a POS, but I just don't know what recourse the OP really has.

Maybe you pick up your kid, go inside, and call animal control instead of going inside, loading shotgun, going back outside, shooting dog.

I know it sounds crazy, I'm just thinking off the top of my head here and not thinking like a stupid inbred frick hick POS.

unless he had the gun in his lap im pretty sure it sounds like he had time to bring the kid inside.

and if the dog was going nuts threatening my family to the point shooting was required, i surely would go with that story out of the gate - and likely be calling the cops myself as opposed to this wait and lie nonsense

Nice Travon tactic there.
