When the Pennsylvania Game Commission declined to cite a hunter who had mistaken their pet dog for a coyote – fatally shooting it on its morning walk Jan. 7 – Jennifer and Chris Heller turned to social media. Vowing to sue, the couple, of Hamburg, Berks County, met with an attorney, established a Justice for Hunter Go Fund Me page to cover the cost of legal fees, they said, and, within days, had raised more than $16,000. The hunter has not been charged in the incident.
