According to Patrick, he stole Bolio from Indian Sonny because Sonny stole Tater from Patrick first, and shipped him back to Bert Clouse (who matched the dog again and lost him). So maybe Sonny knew he "deserved" the retaliation.

Another reason could also be because Pat's yard was a fortress. If you've ever been there, Pat's property was surrounded by chain/barbwire, with 120 bulldogs chained inside, with 4 to 5 150-lb Fila Brasileiros wandering loose, ensuring no one could "sneak in" without the entire yard resounding with dog barks ... followed by attacks from multiple loose enormous guard dogs ... with Patrick living in his trailer with a high-powered rifle propped-up at each window. Not the kind of setting to provide "an advantage" to any intruder. (Remember, when Patrick finally got raided, they had to drive over his fence with Swat Team vehicles to gain access.)

But, yeah, on the rest
