“It was something that had a high probability of happening sometime,” Pippa's owner, Kai Hansen, said

They knew the risks and intentionally endangered their dog. They should be punished.

But wait there's more

Hansen came to the remote island and started the Goat Island Lodge to escape the frenzied life in the city, the ABC reported. 

When the station interviewed him in 2017, he called the island his "kingdom" and told the station Casey was his "pet." He showed the news outlet how Pippa would chase Casey into the water.

But this time, it seems Casey was finally fed up.

“Normally Pippa would race down, go for the tail and the croc would just go into the river. She’s done it for nine years," Hansen told NT News. "That day she had already chased her back down into the water once."

Even though he's sad about her death, Hansen told Yahoo 7 he doesn't blame Casey.

"I have no hate in any way, shape or form, for the crocodile. I still love her and will continue to feed her, as much as anything. You have to love and respect crocs – they know how to survive," he told the site.

He fed the crocodile and encouraged the behavior for almost a decade. Even sides with the crocodile when the dog passes.
