An Alum Creek, WV family is dealing with heartbreak today after someone shot their two dogs, Bubbles and Scooter, and dumped in the wooded areas behind their home. Even sadder, they are sure they know who did this. Merissa Parsons believes it was her father-in-law who so callously shot the dogs in the head, stuff them in a cooler then dumped, scattering leaves over the bodies.
“We went looking up on the hill and they found the cooler, it was full of blood,” Merissa Parsons said. “Down below the cooler, Bubbles was laying there with leaves all over her, and then a couple of feet down Scooter was laying there too with leaves all over him.”
A Kanawha County humane officer is investigating the crime which appears to have been committed with a small caliber handgun and when they have a clearer picture, felony charges will result.
I just cannot understand the maliciousness of someone doing something so cruel to a family, to family members. What could these little dogs have done to be brutally shot and dumped like this. I wish there were more details available and if I find more information, I’ll add it.
Senseless act by depraved human being. So sad for family knowing their innocent dogs were killed in such a cruel manner.
DEANNA,I LIVE IN WV & SAW THIS ON OUR NEWS. I WAS GONNA SEND IT TO YOU SO I’M GLAD YOU GOT IT. THIS MAKE ME SICK SICK SICK. I HOPE THE B****** WHO DID THIS PAYS BIG TIME & IF IT IS HER FATHER N LAW I HOPE & PREY SHE NEVER EVER LETS HIM HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH HER CHILDREN EVER AGAIN. IF THIS WAS MY FATHER N LAW & HE DID THIS HE WOULD LOSE ALL RIGHTS TO HIS GRAND CHILDREN. JUST THINK NOW THEY MIGHT HAVE TO TELL THEIR CHILDREN THAT PAWPAW SHOT & KILLED YOUR DOGS.
DEANNA I’LL TRY TO KEEP YOU UP TO DATE IF I FIND OUT ANYTHING MORE.
Thanks Janet, appreciate it.

NO PROBLEM DEANNA. ALWAYS GLAD TO HELP.
Why???? WHY??????
That’s all I can say or ask??????
There was no justifiable reason for these dogs to be killed.
And for it to be presummed a family member?
My thougts and prayers are going out to this poor family and their devatating loss.
OMG This is truly sick. i sure hope it wasn’t the Father-in-law. He would be banned from my family and disowned…never allowed near any children or his son again. I would have him prosecuted and thrown in jail to play with Bubba. No regard at all that he is a “family” member. RIP sweet puppies and I’m so very sorry for your loss Parsons family.
Im sorry for th families lost I know how bad this hurt I know what its like to have a animal murder by a family member my sister in law feed my dog antifreeze while i was gone because he was a pitbull.and got away with it.

I’m so sorry for these poor people. What they must be going through. Its a rotten shame. If the father-in-law is guilty he should never be allowed at their home again and have a life time restraining order put on his sorry a**. He must be an unspeakable monster. The way the laws are they probly won’t do a thing to him byr slap him on the wriste. I think you all know what I believe should happen to who ever did this,no discussion : (
