Husky killed neighbors cat!!!

My first time posting... My 11 month old husky (female) got out of my yard last night and attacked my neighbor's cat. Sad to say the cat died, I feel terrible. The neighbors called animal control and animal control will keep the dog until they are done with their investigation (about 3-4 day). I don't know what I should do next. My dog, Raven, is a good dog. This is my first time dealing with this type of behavior. I blame myself because I left the dogs (we have another husky and a german short haired pointer) out in the yard unattended. Our yard is fenced in and I didn't think that she could get out. My husband is thinking that we should find her another home. She has chased cats out of our yard before but this is the first time she has hurt one. Sorry if I am all over the place... I feel bad for my neighbors and I don't want to lose my dog.

Please don't give up on this dog, none of this was her fault at all. Sure, it is distressing for your neighbours and you will have to be more mindful in future but she doesn't deserve to be rehomed because of it. How will that even help change the behaviour? There will always be cats around no matter who she lives with.

I actually had a horrendous experience like this not too long ago so I understand your guilt/panic. Both my greyhound and terrier got hold of a cat in the yard. I literally could do nothing to control the situation as it flew wildly hitting off the walls etc trying to escape but kept getting grabbed :( Eventually it managed to get away but I was terrified that it was bleeding to death somewhere in an alley or something. I called the RSPCA and went out searching (this was late at night) but never found it :( Both my dogs had injuries and Hooch had a severe infection in her eye. Count yourself lucky that your dog is ok :)
I know this situation is horrible but your dog just got over excited. Accidents happen
