The farmer callously shot both the dogs, immediately killing Konan. Kavik was injured but removed running.
The household looked the area for months, posting indications and offering a reward, however to no avail. They even made a post on Dog Lost, listing his last seen place and two phone numbers to call with any type of info. “Kavik is his daddy’s boy and might not come when called by another person. If you see him please call either of these numbers immediately with the location you have seen him in. He will be frightened and may need Vet attention. Thanks very much.”.
