A combat dog that received 2 bronze stars in service in Iraq was shot in Wyoming.  The effect on the owner of Max was terrible as he raised Max from a puppy.  Also, Max was the service dog for his owner who had many health problems.

I believe that the cyclist did feel threatened by the large dog that may have been running up hoping to play.  Though even with playful desires a dog charging you would inspire fear.  Furthermore, the dog’s PSTD may have caused him to attack the man remember danger back in the field.  Though it is terrible and I know it will affect the owner it is not the cyclist’s fault.  It is very sad though to have lost a brave dog that loyally served both the military and his master.

This impacts the world by showing the people to make sure you are in danger before attacking.  It also shows that veterans and hero’s don’t have to be just men, but anyone or thing serving our country.  This is a impact also so that the dog is remembered.  To allow us to mourn the lose of a heroic dog as we would a man.  This shows that hero’s don’t just have to be men but can be animals too.
