A dog training to assist the elderly in therapy was shot and killed in his owner's Davie front yard by a gun-toting bicyclist on Thanksgiving Day, according to the South-Florida Sun-Sentinel.

The shooter, whom police have not yet named, told investigators he was attacked by the two-year-old Doberman pinscher named Scooby. But Scooby's owner said his dog, a former rescue, would never have hurt anyone.

"It's very alarming that someone would be riding a bike with a gun at 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day," 24-year-old Dan Abou told the Sun-Sentinel. "That man came here looking for trouble. I still can't believe this."

Abou admits Scooby was unleashed in the yard while he cleaned out his garage, in defiance of a Broward County ordinance that requires dogs to be leashed, chained, or kept behind a fence while outdoors, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He told the paper most of the residents in his subdivision let their dogs play outside unleashed with no problems.
