On February 11, North Montgomery County resident Cass Coroiescu was forced to cut a trip short and return home after he learned his dog was missing. Beau, an 11-year-old Chocolate Lab has been Coroiescu’ s partner for many years. The well-mannered and well-trained dog was almost human. He also was an avid hunter. When Coroiescu returned he searched for hours for his companion. It was the next day seeing buzzards circling a short distance away that he decided to investigate. He started down the pipeline and that’s when he spotted the collar and soon his beloved friend. Beau was dead, shot in the neck with an exit wound to the shoulder. Coroiescu carried his friend home and buried him in the backyard. A tombstone was made to place on the spot. Coroiescu said at times the labs would get out but would return as soon as they were called. Beau would not chase other animals as they were all his friends. He slept with a cat and when he wasn’t sleeping with a cat he would sleep with one of the pigs. Beau was great hunting dog, especially with ducks. Coroiescu said, you could depend on him hearing the shot, seeing the duck fall and bring him to Daddy. Chasing chickens or ducks was not something he would do. Many times, sitting next to a pond he would watch the ducks swim but without a bang or one falling out of the air, it was just sight seeing to him. Coroiescu loves his animals. His garage has been converted not to a “Man Cave”, but a “Dog Cave”. With leather couches for his other 3 dogs, their own air conditioning and heating system and doggie door. Coroiescu, has now gone the next step. That is bringing Beau’s killer to justice. He filed a report with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, made large banner signs and is offering a $5000 reward for the conviction of Beau’s killer. Several neighbors say they have had animals shot in the area just east of Conroe Regional Airport off Hoda Drive over the years. Coroiescu is asking anyone with information to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers. Texas law says maliciously killing an animal.” Cruelty to animals is a Misdemeanor with a fine up to$1000 and/or imprisonment up to 1 year.
