Dog Who Survived Oregon School Shooting Grieves Lost Owner

[img][/img]

The recent devastating school shooting in Oregon killed nine students and left their loves ones grieving — including one devoted dog who survived the shooting but lost his favorite human.

Bullet, a black-and white service dog, was by owner Sarena Dawn Moore's side when a gunman opened fire on the classroom at Umpqua Community College on Oct. 1. Moore, who was in a wheelchair, was killed — and her loving dog was there with her the whole time.

The day after the shooting, police delivered an unharmed Bullet back home, where he reunited with Moore's fiancé, Travis Dow. Dow told CNN that he was overjoyed to see Bullet again. "Bullet became a piece of Sarena, and I was happy to get him back," he said.

But it quickly became clear that Bullet felt Moore's loss too. "He's been acting really droopy. He knows she ain't coming home, 'cause he was there when the fatal day happened," Dow said.

How evil does someone have to be to shoot a person in a wheelchair.
