The dog was in the owner’s yard. At any rate, until cops start paying for this it will just go on.
That is unless you are talking about a different type of "payment"? I'm over 50, kids are almost done schools, my dog (Red Heeler) is the most loyal true companion I've had for the past 15 years. She will still tear into anyone who even hints being a threat to me. I will do the same for her should it be required. She never leaves my side. Ever.
You correct. That family should file a civil lawsuit agains’t the cop.
