This won't happen for many reasons. First of all, we are too civilized. Second, the dog is not guilty of anything - it just obeys commands. Third, a police dog is treated as a police officer when it is necessary to classify you as a threat. And fourth, what LEO will allow you to draw a firearm in his presence? The LEO can draw and fire under 2 seconds because his holster is not obstructed. How fast could a common citizen draw from a concealed carry holster under a jacket?

The transition from the all-polite society to the shoot-on-sight society will have a huge hysteresis. Many people will let themselves be killed just because they cannot make themselves believe what is about to happen. As I said, we are too civilized. A caveman would have no problem here. But we are not cavemen; at first we will refuse to see evil even when the evil is in front of us.

In most jurisdictions the dogs are considered to be police officers, theoretically if you harm one it is the same as if you had harmed an officer.

Contrast that with the idea if an officer harms a civilian’s dog it is considered property- usually of little or no value, instead of considering the dog as a member of the family.
