Murder in the Village

My gentle readers will remember my post about all the indignities suffered by Bruce, a dog of the village Antonivka. He is named in honor of the martial arts master Bruce Lee. This dog of such a noble name disgraced himself today in the wee hours of the morning.
A young, maimed, chicken was discovered beside his supper dish. In my previous post about Bruce I praised him and his endurance of certain canine sufferings - chickens eating our of his dog dish for example. Well this morning we had no witnesses as to what allegedly did occur, but a dead chicken was found in the proximity of the dog house. This dead chicken's unmolested corpse was found within the reach of Bruce's short chain which attaches him to the said dog house.
This picture was taken as evidence, unfortunately the corpse had already been removed by passersby (who intended to cook it for lunch).
I think we can see guilt painted all of over the face of this dog, but there is evidence of remorse, he wouldn't touch his breakfast, the surviving chickens are eating it all right under his nose.

Maybe he "played" a little too hard with his friend?

Don't be too quick to judge poor Bruce. It could be possible that he was in his doghouse sleeping away dreaming of protecting his chicken brothers, when in his dream a coyote appears and begins to massacre his chicken friends. He jumps to action to protect his comrades when he awakens to find that he has his jaws around the neck of a chicken instead of the coyote he envisioned. You can imagine his regret and the great depression that settled over him as he came back to reality. An imagined Hero transformed to cold blooded murderer. I imagine he won't be able to eat for days as he listlessly lies in his doghouse in remorse.
