In a Facebook post a friend says the owner of the lab was working on his car when he heard gunfire, ran to the driveway and found his pup Waylon had been shot.

A community of friends is surrounding a central Minnesota man with support and calling for justice after his dog was fatally shot Tuesday night. 

The incident was detailed in a Facebook post by the dog owner’s friend Austin Larson, who explained that his buddy was home at his residence on the 25700 block of Imperial Road working on his vehicle around 6:30 p.m. when he heard gunfire. The dog’s owner, Greg Brunner, ran to the driveway and found his beloved lab Waylon laying near the driveway after being shot. 

Larson says Brunner attempted to slow the bleeding and then rushed Waylon to a local vet, but the dog did not survive. 

“If you know Greg at all, you know Waylon was by his side everywhere he went,” Larson wrote. “Waylon was incredibly friendly and an amazing companion.. Greg is beyond devastated and hearing the heartache in his voice tears me apart.”

A neighbor described seeing a 2016 or newer dark Chevy pickup truck pull out of the driveway after hearing gunshots. An employee answering the phone at the Todd County Sheriff’s Department confirms they have a report on the incident, but could not say whether it is an active investigation. 

Larson is asking people on Facebook to share his post and requesting that anyone who knows someone with a truck like that call either him or Brunner, in hopes the person who pulled the trigger pays for what happened.

“I’m making this post in hopes that this is shared and the low life scum responsible for taking Waylon can be brought to justice,” Larson wrote in his post, “and hopefully never own a firearm again.”
