He Was the Most Loving and Loyal Companion"
Salma Hayek has suffered a devastating loss.
The 49-year-old actress revealed on Instagram Friday her dog, Mozart, was shot to death. His body was found at her ranch.
"I haven't posted for a week as I been mourning the death of my dog, Mozart who I personally delivered out of his mother's womb," she wrote, alongside a photo of her pet, a German Shepard mix. "He was found dead in my ranch last Friday with a shot close to his heart."
"I am hoping that the Washington State authorities do justice to this wonderful dog whom in 9 years never bit or attacked anyone," she continued. "He loved his territory and never strayed away...he was the most loving and loyal companion. He didn't deserve a slow and painful death. #doglover #animalrights #dog #dogoftheday #rip #delivery #washingtonstateauthorities."

(20,176 posts)Dogs are frequent advance-targets of stalkers, serial killers and other malign individuals fixated on an individual and meaning to do them harm. It both functions to terrorize the victim and acts to eliminate a pet whose sensory-awareness of their surroundings and other people exceeds our own and whose attention might serve as an advance warning of the presence of the potential threat.
Add into that Shepards are very protective of their owners and capable of truly fucking up a threatening individual.

(20,176 posts)I was aware of her husband's money, the fact that their ranch is probably very well-secured was what made me wonder about malign interests...it could not have been easy to get near enough or a clear line to shoot the dog. It was clearly a planned, executed attack rather than neighbor shot the dog for venturing onto their property or random act of cruelty.
