Justice For Rip And Silo

‼️UPDATE ‼️

This is footage of the video believed to be involved in the shooting of our boys. If you recognize this vehicle, remember seeing it that day, know who owns it, or have any information around it, PLEASE, please reach out to the RCMP.

*** File number 25-5299

My family is still hurting from what occurred on October 19th. It’s horrible that this happened, and you don’t need to stay silent about it.

We deserve justice, Riptide and Silo deserve justice. We want answers. Please come forward.

🔹Sooke RCMP release vehicle of interest following October dog shooting🔹

Sooke RCMP are asking the public via Crimestoppers to help identify the occupants of a Toyota sedan that was seen in the area of a dog shooting that left one dog dead and a second dog wounded back in October of 2025.

The vehicle is believed to be a 2008-2010 Toyota Corolla.

Sooke RCMP is asking anyone with information related to this vehicle or the shooting incident, to contact the department and reference Sooke RCMP file 25-5299.

It has been 7 months and 3 days since the boys were shot. I just thought I’d make a post with a little refresh of some facts, and some questions to potentially get someone thinking. And of course once again as I seem to do constantly, plead for answers.

1. The shooting happened on October 19th, 2025, in the area of Otter Point

2. Riptide and Silo arrived at the Farmer Drive location at approximately 9:30 am and snuck away from Gabe around 11:30 or so am, they were shot around 11:50-12pm

3. The Shooting happened between 2850-2560 on Farmer Drive.

4. Silo made it to and passed in a neighbouring driveway, which the neighbour had left shortly before and was not home at the exact time of the shooting, but pulled in shortly after and noticed him within minutes of him lying there.

5. Riptide was rushed to WAVES where he received $15k in care and stayed for 4 nights. (I am forever grateful for the community who made it possible to save Riptide)

Thoughts to consider:

Were you in the area?
Did you see the dogs on October 19th?
Did you potentially lend your vehicle to somebody that day?
Have you heard any rumours, or stories that could potentially be fact?
Have you met the dogs? If so, what was your opinion of them. Were they problematic?

I know any dash cam footage this far from the date would be over lapped, but let’s think in our memory banks. If you know something, if you have heard something, if you think you noticed something, before, during, after. It’s worth saying something.

All we want is to know why and who is to blame for this mortifying act. We can make a ton of assumptions, it’s easy to come up with many different story’s. What we want is facts. My wound isn’t healing here, I’m just growing more and more impatient and frustrated with how this is being taken care of.

Please keep sharing, please keep talking, somebody knows something.

Today would have been Silo’s 16th Birthday

This birthday was stolen from us to celebrate with our old man. The very first night he came home to us, he was crying on his new bed, in a big scary place he didn’t know, with weird people he didn’t recognize. I felt so bad for him that I went downstairs and slept on the dog bed with him, petting him, cuddling him and trying to comfort him. I think I did that for his first 3 nights, then he realized he could come to us.

Silo, I hope you’re dancing in the sky, I hope you’re getting all the pets, I hope you’re comfy, happy, and on the biggest adventure. I hope somebody welcomed you the way I did. You rescued me just as much as we rescued you ❤️

Although I can’t give you a birthday cookie today, or a hat, or make you pose for pictures, I hope you’re being celebrated. You deserve all the good doggy things in the world. I love you so much, and I miss you more than words can say.

I’m so sorry you were taken from this world the way you were. Your calm in my world of chaos is what I am missing right now, you always reminded me to stop and smell the flowers (every 5 feet, on every single walk). I see things every now and again that I’m sure are from you.
I constantly remind myself to stop and let life happen in this new age go go go, accepting where I am and what’s going on around me, living in the moment is hard for me.

You loved relaxing, exploring, adventure, walks, dancing, and people sitting on the ground with you. If I had it my way, I’d do all your favourite things today, outdoors of course.

Here’s to you Stink, my boy, my old man. I’m wishing you the best 16th birthday ever. I wish I could snuggle you and love on you how you deserve. ❤️‍🩹🫶🏼🎉🪽

If you know something about the shooting of 2 dogs, on Farmer Drive in the Otter Point area in Sooke on October 19th, 2025, between the hours of 11am and 12pm, please say something. No matter how small of a detail, anything that seemed off leading up to, after, or during. PLEASE SAY SOMETHING . This is getting old, the pain I feel every single day, the worry, the stress on the people involved with these dogs. The loss! The immense loss.

Closer would sure be nice. My heart still hurts.

Just know the truth always comes out. Stories, lies, secrets, they are hard to keep buried. We deserve the truth, my dogs deserve the truth, and we all deserve justice. We deserve answers.

We’ve had some birthdays this month!

Lots of friends and family, May seems to be a very popular month for birthdays. One of those happens to be Rip! Rip’s 4th Birthday was May 1st. He’s made a full recovery and bounced back fully since being shot, he loves to play, lounge, and of course he’s a very good actor, excelling in drama.

7 months ago we didn’t think we’d see his 4th. We’re so excited to happy to have been able to celebrate it.

Thank you Riptide for being such a strong boy and pulling through for us. Thankfully you get to continue a life full of adventure and treats.

I am such a lucky dog mom to have been given the opportunity to call you mine, as well as have this second chance with you. I am so thankful.

In the last few months Rip also graduated from trick class. He excelled in learning, and now waves when you say “Hi Rippy!”. This class was so much fun, we can’t wait to get him back into obedience and move forward with Good Canine Neighbour.


We love you so much Riptide 🥰
Such a good birthday boy ❤️🎉🥳

The sorry excuse of a human that pulled a trigger twice in a public road (within meters of occupied houses) and caused this pain to our family and our boys is still out there. Just know you will be found, lies and drama will only get you so far. Karma exists, and the people who deserve it get it hard. 🫶🏼

If you know something, say something! It’s never too late, and you won’t regret getting this weight off your shoulders. Tips can be anonymous.
