A family have been left heartbroken after their pet dog was shot by a deer hunter who mistook it for a coyote.
Chris Heller, from Pennsylvania, US, had taken his 8 year old malamute mix, Hunter, out for a walk in the woods, alongside his German Shepherd, Freya, near his home on January 7.
Hunter, who weighed around 90 lbs, was shot by a deer hunter after the animal was allegedly mistaken for a coyote, according to wife, Jennifer Heller.
