Alaska State Troopers said 48-year-old Harry Douglas was charged with misconduct involving weapons for possessing a firearm while intoxicated.
According to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, troopers said the man was intoxicated when he decided he no longer needed two of his dogs. He then allegedly walked from his home off Chena Hot Springs Road to a neighbor's home and borrowed a pistol, then returned home and shot the dogs.
Douglas then reportedly called his wife and told her what he had done. Charging documents say the wife called 911.
