Six-year-old girl watches in horror as police 'shoot dead her dog Apollo in her front yard
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | July 28, 2014 | Lydia Warren

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.'

BarbM is correct. This young girl will see FAR worse in her life if we allow this trajectory to continue.

If shot by police they would be Pit Bulls.

you have a knack of being judgmental. And you sound so angry.

I don’t know what NLP means or android.

I’m 53 and have lived a hard life. When you move out of your parent’s basement and experience real life. unplugged life where people you love get shot, die of caner or screw you over. Where you try to better your life and all you get is laughed at. etal.

You’ll be less quick to call people androids and tell them to go get screwed.

Once you actually live life, you will feel sad because the little girl who saw her dog shot, will probably see her uncle shot and brother killed.

SO yes, it was just a dog, but there’s so much more to come to little girls who live like that. And it’s sad. Dogs aren’t people.

Great. Now charge this puke with Animal Cruelty as well as child endangerment for firing a shot into the yard where a six-year old had to watch her puppy die. Prosecute to fullest extent.

Not if some other department scoops up this vermin and puts him back into circulation. He needs to be charged.

When do they just start shooting people, because they can?

Why didn’t the cops leave the yard or back away from the dog to see if its demeanor changed?

That goes againsty the Officers' Prime Directive: Before all else, assert control of the situation.

Yes, actually. Except for the bear. A cop would get in trouble for shooting bear attacking a baby.

Head shape/ear set say Boxer.
Tawny color and “otter tail” so the rest might be Lab.

I was molested by a Viet Nam vet pedophile.

I reckon I should just start shooting all Nam vets if they look at me funny.

‘Cuz, ya know, “before it’s too late”.

Pussies with the legal right to shoot you or your dog with impunity.
