Vet bills hit $2,700, but she’s recovering at home. Farmer Tom Powell believes it was a deliberate act tied to years of harassment against his business, fearing worse could’ve happened to his kids or customers. Police are investigating but have no leads yet. He hopes the reward will spark tips, especially since a similar theft case was solved using such a bounty—and suspects the shooter was driving past on Stanley Road. This is a story of loss, resilience, and the desperate need for justice. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
