I need justice for my Babyboy.
..On the evening of Saturday June 28, 2008, the family of Terri Davis', lives were changed. Their little bassett hound, Babyboy, slipped out of the safety of his backyard. Moments later a neighbor came to the Davis' front door to report their precious little dog was hurt.Another neighbor, , had shot and killed Babyboy.Surrounded by a crowd of people, Terri picked up his lifeless little body screaming to God, as tears ran down her face. At that point she didn't know how babyboy had died.They brought him home and it was then, as they looked him over, that they found the bullet hole.Delawder was part of the crowd that surrounded Terri. He was asking if, "Anyone had seen anything." In other words, he was acting like he had no knowledge of the shooting. When the police arrived he lied to them.It was after Mr. Delawder contacted his attorney, (later) he admitted to shooting the Davis family dog. His excuse? He stated he had every right to shoot the dog to protect his cats.It is suspected that his cats, (if there really are any) are locked in an unventilated box in his backyard. In which case, not only is he guilty of a crime by shooting the dog, he is also guilty of animal abuse.Alabama state law made it a class C felony in the year of 2001: Title 13A. Criminal Code. Chapter 11. Offenses Against Order and Safety. Article 1. Offenses Against Public Order and Decency. § 13A-11-14. Cruelty to animals. Section 13A-11-240. Definitions. Section 13A-11-241.

~A POEM FOR MY BABYBOY~
Oh, little friend, do you recall, When you made this house your home? You were just a ball of fluff, Not even halfway grown.
You stumbled when you learned to walk, It was hard to steer four legs; You learned to sit, and stay, and come, And, of course, you learned to beg.
You loved those walks we used to take, You never left my side; And if I got my car keys out, You were ready for a ride.
You sensed when I was happy, Or was feeling kind of low; You'd rub up against my knee, You always seemed to know.
You'd fetch a ball or get a toy, Without even being told; But, was your face crestfallen, If I felt the need to scold.
You found the outside world exciting, Do you remember your first snow? You'd not come back inside the house, Because you loved it so.
Going to the vets for shots, I guess was your greatest fear; You seemed to know each scheduled date, Though you went but once a year.
You were afraid of lightening, too, And of booming thunderstorms; You'd run and jump upon my bed, Where it was safe and warm.
I never once felt lonely, As long as you were here; You were at my feet or on my lap, You constantly were near.
Oh, I am going to miss you, No question about that; But, little one, for your pain to go, I had to send you back.
You're going back to heaven now, From whence long ago you came; You'll be welcomed back by God, Himself, Who knows your doggy-name.
I think there's Frisbees up in heaven, And rubber, squeaky toys; And angels who will play with you, And little girls and boys.
But, there won't be any thunderstorms, And no vets with shots up there; You won't even need a leash, You'll run freely in God's air.
And when my time on earth is done, And at heaven's gate I'm near, I don't want any harps or horns, Just ... happy barks to hear.
So, see you later, little friend, I'm glad you're now pain-free; And I'm glad you're sitting next to Jesus, Now ... you wait right there for meWHAT THEY WOULD SAY IF THEY COULD SPEEK To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all. For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.Your Pets In Heaven

His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us -- those whom we trust with our happiness and good name -- may become traitors in their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolute, unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world -- the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous -- is his dog."Gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens."If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.""REMEBERING BABYBOY JUNE 28TH WE MISS YOU BOY"..
