Last week, we announced our reward offer to the media in response to a horrific tragedy. Ginger was a beloved family dog who lived with the Robertson family in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi. Just recently, Ginger was making her rounds to visit the neighbors when someone shot her – first in the face, and then again across the back of her head and neck with a shotgun as she fled in fear and pain. Ginger was rushed to Mississippi State University’s veterinary services emergency clinic. Three pellets had struck Ginger beneath the eye, penetrating her brain. A second blast left thirty two pellets in the back of her head and across her back. This gentle, loving dog was beyond recovery and had to be euthanized.

Ginger’s guardian, Allen Robertson, told us, “Ginger was a really wonderful dog – she was so happy and everyone loved her. She played with all the kids. It’s devastating to lose her like this.” Following Ginger’s euthanasia, Mr. Robertson spent hours in his truck wracked by loss, and wondering how to tell his children that their beloved family member would never be coming home again.
