## Summary

Missouri couple Emma and Clay Lively are grieving after their 18-month-old Great Pyrenees, Zeus, was found dead on their property with an arrow lodged in his side. The case matters because investigators are examining the arrow for evidence, while Zeus’s family disputes that he could have been mistaken for game.

Zeus had been missing since Sunday morning and was found on Tuesday in woods near the family’s home south of Warrenton. The Livelys say he was a white, gentle guardian for their chickens and other animals; bow-hunting season is under way in Missouri. The arrow has been sent to a Highway Patrol crime lab for fingerprint and DNA analysis, and the Humane Society of Missouri says it resolved 8,503 abuse or neglect cases involving 24,809 animals in the past 12 months.
