The shooting became public knowledge after Jenelle’s ex-fiancé Nathan Griffith called 911 for a welfare check on their son together, Kaiser. 

"The male caller referenced making sure his son was safe because his ex-fiancée’s husband shot a dog in front of him,” the Columbus County Sheriff’s Department told People magazine. The 4-year-old was declared safe, and did not investigate further into the alleged shooting of the pooch. Jenelle’s oldest son, Jace, 9, was reportedly on vacation at the time of the incident. 

RIP Nugget.
