A couple tried to kill their border collie, Scout, with a BB gun because they could no longer afford him, police said.

Keith Ropp, 26, of the Flanders section of Mount Olive and his girlfriend, Carly McBride, 24, of Long Valley walked Scout, 10, into a wooded area off Drakesdale Road in Mount Olive on Saturday and shot him six times with a BB gun, according to criminal complaints.

When the dog did not die, the duo took him to the Flanders Veterinary Clinic, where Dr. Nicholas Minervini discovered two pellets embedded in the dog through X-rays, according to criminal complaints.

A court affidavit states Ropp used a .177-caliber BB gun, considered a handgun, to shoot Scout six times.

Minervini called police because the couple's story sounded suspicious, court records show. Police asked the couple to voluntarily go to police headquarters for questioning, and before being transported by police vehicle, as Ropp was being checked for weapons, several BBs or pellets fell out of his pocket, records show.

Ropp admitted he and McBride could not afford Scout and were "taking him on his last walk before either putting him down or dropping him off at a shelter," court records say. Scout was registered to a relative of McBride, but she and Ropp were most recently caring for the border collie, authorities said.

Ropp and McBride were separately interviewed by police, and both said they had planned for a few hours to shoot Scout, records show. They reportedly took the dog into the woods, where, Ropp admitted, he shot the dog. They said that when Scout did not die but was in pain, they took him to the clinic, court records say.

Both are charged with possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a handgun. They are not specifically charged with animal cruelty. They are due in Superior Court on Oct. 24.

Minervini said the dog is doing well and will go home with clinic vet Dr. Jesse Gasparro. Minervini condemned the incident as "horrible" but said he has some sympathy for the couple because of their financial situation.

"He's a very mellow dog who gets along with the other dogs, and he likes cats," Minervini said.

One BB shot missed the dog's heart and was lodged in soft tissue, he said. Another is lodged in the back of Scout's neck.

Police recovered the BB gun from Ropp's car, records show.

Because you're so much better than them? They harmed a dog, you desire to sadistically harm 2 human beings. I understand the rage, I have a dog myself and it pains to even think of this sort of thing.

Also, they should sell the gun and buy food for the dog. This is ridiculous, feeding a dog is no more than 10 a month. If you're really having a bad time financially, you can skip vets and baths and all that stuff, but how hard is it to spare 10? They are 2 adults who are able to work, get a smaller house, sell old stuff, I don't know, this is never the solution.
