A missing service dog, who belonged to a murdered man, whose body was found burning in a field last week in Payne County, Oklahoma, has met with a tragic end. According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), the service dog who belonged to 38-year-old Michael Hamilton was also killed.
On April 3, OSBI stated:
Payne County — Investigators learned this afternoon that Michael Hamilton’s service dog was shot and killed this weekend. The pit bull mix was dumped in either rural Kay or Noble County after Hamilton’s body was dumped and burned in Payne County last week. Investigators were hoping to reunite the victim’s dog with his family.
After Hamilton’s murder, investigators had reached out to the public to help find the dog, named “L’il Mutt,” in order to reunite him with the victim’s family. The men accused of killing Hamilton allegedly took the dog with them after the murder and dumped him in another area; there are unverified accounts stating that Lil Mutt was shot by a farmer who feared that the dog was dangerous.

Dog beaten and left to die – read the tragic story here.
Do they know who killed this man and then dumped his dog? How nice of the farmer shooting a service dog, I would highly doubt a service dog would be dangerous, just shoot Lil Mutt and ask questions later!
Because it’s stated “unverified account” I’m wondering if the dog was actually shot. If so RIP L’il Mutt and my condolences to Michael Hamilton’s family.
So now there should be an additional charge for the dog’s killing!
You’re right he needs to be charged for the murder of the dog too.
A damn stinking shame. Trigger happy paranoid public. RIP L’il Mutt. My heart is breaking.
Nice. Another stupid farmer who didn’t bother to see if the dog was mean, a missing pet, or anything, but who simply took his gun and killed the dog for no reason whatsoever. Charge that bastard! This is INEXCUSABLE!
That’s terrible
Find the sick bastards who dud this and execute them.
fuckin dirt bags pos find them.and kill them slow very slow
Nail the bastards to a tree and use them as target practice – they deserve no better.
An eye for an eye justice needs to be done ✅
D’accord avec vous. Pas de pitié pour les assassins.
Well John Steinbeck was CERTAINLY before his Time when he wrote about the Riff-Raff in Oklahoma !!! These ANIMAL ABUSING BASTARDS have been crawling out of the CRAKS down there this past YEAR!!! Too bad the farmer didn’t use a 38 on them instead of the poor broken hearted dog!!!!! This farmer was a shoot first ask questions later jerk!!!
Regarding the farmer: Those are UNVERIFIED ACCOUNTS!!!! Most likely, it was the maggots that murdered Michael Hamilton that also murdered his service dog and dumped it in a different county!
Sad ending for the service dog my condolence for the owners families …
We live in a extremely cruel,violent and brutal world! And it’s terrifies me! I hope this crime can be solved and those responsible are brought to justice!
Prayers for the family, so sad to read this. This is so difficult and to add to it, with the dog being killed.
I’d take a good look at the farmer!
Verschrikkelijk, ook zijn lieve hond!…hoop wel dat de dader bekent is!…wat een wrede man!!!!!!
Please have these people in custody soon.
