Oh for Pete’s sake.
The stupid s**t didn’t know play-fighting when he saw it. I’m a regular at dog parks and I love to watch a friendly brawl; the most frightful snarls and growls, flashing fangs and WWE body-slamming. But miraculously, never any blood drawn.
This eedjit should have let his dog off-leash so he could have given as good as he got and led Bear-Bear on a merry chase with thundering hoofbeats galore.
The only real danger at a dog park—when the crowd is loose and loud and the fur is flying—is to the owners because when the pooches are chasing each other round and round, sometimes their coordination is a trifle faulty and the lead fur-bearin’ critter can accidentally plow full-tilt into someone’s leg.
It takes a real man to gun down a pet dog. Oh yeah, it was for the officer’s safety. I hope he has a Glock accident.
Was this federal officer protecting his canine partner? First thing that came to my mind.
If a police officer comes anywhere near my dog, I will be carrying a gun — for my dog’s protection.
I met a guy with two Malamutes at a recent dog show. They looked just like the Siberian Husky in the photo. They were some of the prettiest dogs I’ve ever seen, so I asked him a number of questions. They are very wolf-like, with their tendency to howl a lot. They are affectionate and protective. They shed fur like mad. I asked how trainable they are - not very much, he said. They are very independent and are mostly good for pulling things.
I hope this incident gets continued coverage and some thought is given on how to obtain civil justice through the court system if this “Federal police officer” is given a blue line pass by the police investigation.
