The manager of a veterinary clinic, Tana James, also said of Sonic thatshe was overweight, eight-years-old, and had hip dysplasia so she couldnt leap, jump or do a lot of active things.
In all the years Ive been around her, Ive never seen any aggression. Ive never seen her growl or lurch at anyone, said Tana.

Cop shoots dog, files lawsuit against neighbor who dares to testify against cop (uppity peasant).
Mea culpa: article date 11/15/2013
Back on the 21st of March, 2011, a LEO by the name of Josh Boren reported to his supervisor that he was in trouble. Officer Boren had come across a stray dog, and instead of following protocol, which at the time involved turning the stray over to the South County Animal Shelter and which he knew very well, having worked as an animal control officer he pulled his .22 rifle out of his squad car and began taking pot shots at the terrified dog. One round ricocheted off the passenger-side door of his vehicle, and the resulting report conveniently left out the dogs fate, including whether or not it was hit by any of the rounds. As a result of the shooting, Officer Boren was suspended without pay for thirty-six hours. A reprimand was added to his file saying there was not enough evidence to support criminal charges while admitting the incident indicated a serious behavioral problem. Sadly, the story does not end there.
On the 16th of January, 2014, Officer Boren again fired his weapon against regulations. This time, however, he shot and killed his wife, their two small children, and his mother-in-law. A friend of his late wifes said Kelly Boren wanted a divorce and told her Officer Boren had rage problems. But before they could talk about it in greater detail, Kelly Boren was dead at her husbands hand. Three years had passed since Boren shot at a frightened stray dog on the street. Three years and he turned his rage to humans to his entire family.
