TEULON, Man. — Police have charged an 18-year-old man following a robbery in rural Manitoba in which a family’s pet dog was shot and killed.

RCMP say a suspect broke through a window at a home near Teulon on Sept. 26 and stole five guns and other property before encountering a French mastiff named Boomer.

Police say Boomer was shot three times by a gun that didn’t belong to the homeowner.

The dog was pronounced dead at a veterinarian’s office.

RCMP say the homeowner called police when he arrived home and saw a suspect leaving the house.
