Is it now SOP for LEOs to shoot the family dog first upon calling on a house for any reason at all?

I don’t dislike dogs but don’t love them and really don’t understand keeping one chained up, fenced in, confined and just having it. I sure don’t understand living in the house with one but to each his own.

I can understand feeling the need to shoot one if attacked but this has gotten way out of hand.

For many, dogs are loved and cared for as one of the family. Some dog owners do not have a family and all the love and devotion that would normally go to family goes to pets.

In cases like this, it is emotionally fairly close to having a cop show up and shoot your 6 year old kid. Just like for your children, the love a good dog is real and runs deep.

They are raised from helpless puppies that fall asleep in your arms. The connection is real and lasts their lifetime and yours. I still find it hard to keep down the lump in my throat when I remember my last boy.
