An argument erupted early on Wednesday morning between two Houston neighbors. A man in his twenties was beating his dog, and a man in his sixties strongly objected to it. He went inside his house and grabbed a gun, and shot the dog abuser. He will not be facing any charges.
Neither of the men have been identified, but the younger man’s mother gave an account of what happened.
“My son attacked him, I guess, in some form or fashion, because they were talking about the dog. My son ran into the house. The guy that shot him ran into another area, got the shotgun and shot through my back window and shot my son in the neck,” she said told KPRC 2.”
The gunshot was not fatal, but she said her son had to go to the hospital for treatment. He was expected to be released the same day.
Houston police said the older man would not be charged with shooting the younger man because they considered this to be a case of self-defense.
“I would hope it’s a good wake-up call for him because he was having problems with his mom all of the time and going through some things with her,” explained another neighbor, Willis Garrett. “I just hope it’ll be a wake-up call for him.”

Damn right!
Couldn’t have said it better!
I hope to hell they took the dog away from him.
Exactly!
The dog is still at the residence chained up in a fenced yard. Why Chain it in a fenced yard ? Ate up wit da dumb a__ !!!
Take that dog away! No more animals for you POS! I also hope the man who shot him reads this cuz I want to tell him YOUR MY HERO! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad the guy shot that pos!!!! Good for him and I hope they take the dog away and he isn’t allowed any more he should go to jail and not be released at all that really pisses me off when ppl hurt innocent animals they can defend themselves if u not going to love them and treat them as part of the family don’t get one it’s that dam simply!!!!
Problem with this story is they don’t say what happened to the dog or if younger man is being charged for cruelty.
It animal cruelty illegal in Houston? Is dog in protective custody? Was dog in full compliance with the city code?
They miss an opportunity to educate…..
Damn! Was hoping the dog abuser died.
Me too! Dogslivesmatter!!
This man is a real brave man very smart with a big heart. ?
You are definitely a Hero, i would do the same if i saw someone abusing an animal.
Gotta love it! You coward!
Thank you sir, for standing up for the dog. Thank you Texas for not punishing him for doing so.
Agreed! Isn’t this what America is about…standing up and defending those that can’t defend themselves? The only thing that would have made this story any better is if the abuser didn’t make it out alive…put him out of our misery. Trials cost tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, a bullet only costs a quarter…be fiscally responsible!
So this lowlife had a bad day and thought it was a good idea to beat up a dog, seriously? I’m not for violence but I’m certainly for The older man shooting this little life. We’re the ones that have to defend against this type of animal abuse and I agree with what happened to this animal abuser.
Good for him! Wish more people would do this
Good job, buddy, GOOD DOG..
I Hope they took that poor dog away from that jerk!!! I applaud you sir for coming to the dogs rescue!!!! God Bless!! I love to see Karma played out…especially right away. He got what he deserved.
Let’s give this man a round of applause. Way to go guy. I would too do the same thing.
