Six-year-old girl watches in horror as police 'shoot dead her dog Apollo in her front yard

A six-year-old girl watched in horror as police gunned down her one-year-old dog as it stood in their front yard, her family has said.

The girl's mother, Nicole Echlin, said their shepherd-mix Apollo, whom they have had since he was a puppy, got out of their yard in Hometown near Chicago, Illinois on Friday afternoon.

After they chased him around the neighborhood, he returned to the yard and was standing on the lawn when police arrived and pulled out their guns, Echlin told the Chicago Tribune.

'He started showing his teeth - that's when the officer shot him,' Echlin, 27, said. 'I didn't know that was going to happen.'

He’s my pride and joy. 14+ pounds of tomcat, but as far as I’m concerned he’s still the 6-week-old kitten who ran up my arm, curled up on my shoulder, and purred like a chainsaw.

I totally understand.

It was that way with my Rocket, RIP. When we got him from Animal Alliance in California, we didn’t have the cat
carrier with us, but in the car, he curled up immediately on my lap and made himself my cat then and there.

After we took him to the vet and got rid of his ear mites (the poor little guy), he was a very good boy for fifteen years.

I miss him every day.

And I have his kitten picture, too. Thanks for the adult pic. (I have taken a copy of that, too.)

Since you're collecting, here are a couple more:

Misty is the longhair who's using Deimos as a sofa.

May you see him again at the Rainbow Bridge.

I have the Misty/Deimos picture already, but the really, really cute one on the carpet is new to me.

Thanks!

Thank you, Darlin'.  I certainly hope so as well.  There should be at least six or seven of them waiting for me there.

I don't think we would love them so much if there were no Rainbow Bridge.  God loves us, and He is not cruel.
