That dog was happy one second and dead the next,” Lee lamented, saying that Hank was just doing “what any dog would have done” when someone came near.“Before I could get down here, the dog was dead. It died that quick. I told the guy, ‘What are you doing? You just killed my son’s pet.’ I said, ‘He’s going to be devastated.
