“Our neighbor was so proud of his garden, so when my dog got into it, he shot its butt full of pellets. Fortunately the dog didn’t die. But in the middle of the neighbor’s garden was a manicured fir tree, so one Christmas Eve, I sawed it down and put it up in our house. No Christmas tree has ever meant so much to me.”
-George Clooney on his favorite Christmas tree
All the more reason to love the man. What kind of jerk shoots a domesticated animal for something so trivial?
