If you have dogs, don’t call the cops for ANY reason.
If you are expecting a visit from the cops, put your dog in a kennel for the day.
I think that’s a tad of an overreaction. For every idiot cop that ends up shooting a dog (either right or wrong) there are thousands and thousands of cop/dog interactions that go off without a hitch. (They only write articles about the bad shootings, by the way).
