Locher was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm after he fired shots in his home over the weekend, allegedly shooting and killing his yellow Labrador retriever.

Police say additional charges may be filed, including at least one count of haunting our future nightmares.

And now, to cleanse your brain from the huge bummer that is a dude shooting a dog, behold: The Old Photos with Dogs Pool. Sort of like if you can imagine it, there's porn of it, if you can imagine it, there's probably a Flickr pool for it. A lot of these are great, but we like this one, this one (video), this one, this one, this one, this one, and this one. [Northwest Herald]
