Nothing is quite so terrifying as an 8 yo Golden Retriever that lunges at you. The snarling teeth, the soul shattering growl, saliva flying everywhere. No doubt we would all fear for our lives...
The training that is provided these perps needs to be reviewed. The shoot first, apologize later policy must be stopped. This dog slept inside the house with a 14 yo boy. There is no way he lunged at anyone. There has to be an office pool back at the precinct to see who can get to 10 kills first...
Each time I see the cops sicing their dogs on someone on COPS, I get a mental image of an SS guards setting their dogs on Jewish concentration camp inmates that I read about.
