text: I've read a lot of comments about this story. Most make a good example of community safety and dog owner laws. The one comment about "Real Alaskans Don't Shoot Dogs" is a hoot. And the part where the dog owner put up a "Dog Killer" sign with a memorial lawn decoration is bad-face and reflects immature attitudes with the owner and anyone who contributed to the memorial. Heated debates on both parties, but the neighborhood should of involved the "Accused Dog Killer" in the meeting. Looks to me that neighborhood is singling the family out and would rather have them isolated along with the children, who shouldn't need that kind of welcome, especially when they just moved into a new city and would like to have make new friends. They're all immature and bullies for trying to have a meeting to not let their kids play with Mellerstig's kids. GOOD PARENTING. Show your kids how to be snobs and now they will be making fun of the children because he shot the neighborhood dog, who everyone loved.
