Crouse was treated at the hospital while his wife, who was sleeping at the time, took the dog to the veterinarian to be treated.

Franklin teen shot in the head
Franklin, Ky (4-8-16) A Franklin teen was shot in the back of the head Friday afternoon in the 2400 block of Russellville Road.
Bowling Green police were called to 2472 Russellville Road at 1:53 p.m. Friday, where they found Justin C. Vaughn, 19, of Franklin, shot in the back of the head inside a dark-colored GMC Yukon parked in a gravel lot next to a flooring store. A man inside the flooring store said he didn't know anything about the shooting until he saw an ambulance pull up outside of the business.
Vaughn was taken from the scene by ambulance and flown by medical helicopter to TriStar Skyline Medical Center in Nashville, BGPD spokesman Officer Ronnie Ward said. Police have not released Vaughn's condition. His condition was not available from the hospital.
Police processed the Yukon at the scene, bagged a small handgun as evidence and then towed the Yukon to a secured city lot for further processing.
Ronnie Alan Guess, 37, of Bowling Green, is charged with first-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence in the shooting, Ward said. A third man who was inside the Yukon has not been named and is not charged with any crime, Ward said. Vaughn was in the front passenger seat and Guess was the driver. Ward did not know immediately after the incident if the vehicle was in motion at the time of the shooting or if it was parked.
Guess is accused of mishandling the gun, causing it to discharge once and asking another person hide the weapon prior to police arrival, Ward said.
