CHATFIELD, Minn. — A rural couple is blaming a neighbor for shooting their Golden Doodle pet Sadie and her Great Pyrenees companion Bertha. The couple told Olmsted County sheriff’s investigators that the dogs had been let out for their evening routine but failed to come home to a bell, which as was their routine. Bertha’s body was found at a carcass put out by a neighbor to lure coyotes, they said. A blood trail led to Bertha at a creek. This was January 5 northwest of Chaftield. They couple said the neighbor admitted to firing shots from inside his house after seeing commotion on a motion-activated camera. A gofundme site has been set up to raise funds for egal acti after two months of no follow-up by county officials, according the couple.
