ISHPEMING, MI-- A preliminary hearing is set for an Ishpeming man accused of shooting and killing a family’s dog.
William Huot, 62, says he thought the Weimaraner was a coyote, even though the dog was wearing a yellow reflective vest and orange collar.
Huot is charged with careless discharge of a firearm in the January 12 incident on Cliffs Drive within the Ishpeming city limits.
A preliminary exam is set for February 4 in Ishpeming District Court.
Owners Cori and Dave Mantela say 8-year-old Corby was a lap dog who always aimed to please.
