[Between the Lines]

An attack dog that will not listen to it's handler needs to be put down.

[Arkansas Toothpick]

Those of you attacking the officer for shooting the dog are just plain wrong. He had to do what was needed in the circumstance. Don’t let your blind love for animals make you reach an emotional, and unwise, conclusion.

The dog does not need to be put down. The policeman could have tased him without the need to kill him. The policeman who shot the dog is a cowardly thug and unfortunately there are many of them among the Police all over the nation and are giving the Police a very bad reputation.
