A 70 year-old man walking his dogs down Kenwood Avenue in Winter Park shot another dog in the eye Thursday night. George Burdock told police he felt the dog, a Samoyed named Lilly, was going to attack him and his two dogs so he shot the animal with a gun armed with BBs.

As a result, Lilly lost an eye!

Burdock, they said, was acting in self-defense. He also had a concealed weapon permit and the gun was registered to him. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m.

According to police, Burdock was out with his wife walking his two smaller dogs when Lilly got away from her owner and ran toward him, his wife and his dogs. Burdock told police that Lilly had "charged" at him and his dogs in the past and he felt threatened.

He told police he shouted a warning that he would shoot Lilly if the owner did not get control of her.

But a neighbor who witnessed the incident told police that Lilly was not a threat to Burdock or the other dogs.

Lilly's owner, Ann Christensen, 52, took her to the hospital where she received treatment.

We demand that George Allan Burdock be charged with animal cruelty for his gross sordid & deplorable actions. We demand justice! Please also donate for Lily's Vet Bills. Thank you all for your support.
