A Tennessee man is grieving the deaths of his seven dogs who were shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy while the owner and his wife were out to dinner.
On Monday, Nov. 4, Kevin Dismuke and his wife left their home in McNairy County to go to dinner, Fox 13 reports.
When his wife returned to their home on Finger Leapwood Road, she called him with shocking news.
“She said, ‘Poe is dead,’” he said, referring to one of their pet dogs.
According to News 3, Dismuke said he returned home to find all of his dogs except one were dead.
“They were told the property was abandoned and the dogs were malnourished,” Dismuke added, News 3 reports. “I got the veterinary paperwork in my truck from three weeks ago. They all had a clean bill of health on them.”
Dismuke said a neighbor told him a deputy came to his house while he was gone and shot the dogs, Fox 13 reports.
Dismuke and his family are heartbroken over the deaths of their beloved dogs.
“I don’t care if you give me $10 if you give me $10 million," he told News 3. "You can’t replace my dogs.”
According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which launched an investigation on Nov. 7, the incident began when the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department received an animal welfare concern call on Nov. 4.

Ol’ Roscoe tried to put them Duke Boys in prison a time or two, but he never shot a dog.
Former deputy accused of shooting dogs was part of JPD internal investigation
“The dogs were sick and malnourished”
Unless the dog is rabid there is this thing called a VETERINARIAN to care for sick dogs officer dimwit.
> What the heck is going on with this guy... wonder where he previously worked? <
Way too often a police officer does something terrible, and then gets fired or is forced to resign. Then he pops up with another department down the road.
It’s so common that there’s a term for it, “gypsy cop”.
And doesn’t bother to talk to the owner?
When I was in my teens, I raised Afghan hounds. One day they all got Parvo, and I watched 9 of them die, including my favorite with his head on my lap as I was frantically driving him to the vet. I love dogs, but I no longer get as attached to them. I cant.
John Wick was about one dog...
McNairy County eh? A long time since the Walking Tall days.
That was Deputy Barney Fife. Roscoe and Barney both liked dogs.
Mr. John Wick, please pick up the white courtesy phone...
This whole thing is possibly a swatting by a neighbor, like with P’nut and Fred in NYork.
Parvo sucks.
yea I have to get all my dogs that shot because it goes through my state like a hot knife in butter.
The deputy is psycho man.
“He graduated from the training academy in September 2022. In less than two years, his personnel file shows an administrative summons with allegations from two different shootings. A statement from a hearing in May 2024 says Brackin “did not shoot the subject and was merely returning fire to the area where he observed a muzzle flash and the sound of gunfire.” It was recommended he undergo remedial training.
The second incident, less than two months later, ended with someone dead. The TBI said the local district attorney called them in to investigate the shooting from March 2023.
In May 2024, the end of Brackin’s probationary period, “Chief Corley found it was in the best interest of the community, the City of Jackson, and the Jackson Police Department to not retain Officer Brackin as a police officer.” Brackin resigned a day later.
Five months later, Brackin was hired to work for the McNairy County Sheriff’s Office.”
My neighbor had 4 dogs. Their house is 1400 square feet, the yard is smaller. They were out all night every night barking There was a Great Dane who charged the fence. My kids could bring their friends outside the dogs would scream bark. 105 degrees out there
3 to 4 AM with the freight train they’d yell bark. Their owner would yell at anyone asking kindly to keep the dogs in so the kids could, if not study, just go to school with a few hours of rest sleep they might want to get grades and go to college, have a future one day
Tge owners were as nice to the dogs as they were to everyone else
I wonder whatever happened to those dogs. I don’t think anyone shot them.
< take a deep breath >
He gave what is absolutely the dumbest, most idiotically insane excuse for his criminality that I have ever heard. Deputy Doofus, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent excuse were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in the entire internet is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
This. Who gave the false report.
Good research there. Please take a look at my post #24.
They were in a camper on the owner’s property. The deputy shot all but one that was under a bed.
I’ve had to do it the two dogs in my life, each one a wonderful dog. Hurt like hell each time. I know your pain.
