[Geez, get a grip of yourself.
The dog was blind, deaf and tiny. He wasn’t a mass murderer, going around town killing people.
That idiot cop needs to grow some balls. He should be embarrassed of himself.]
A rabid animal doesn’t have to do much damage for its bite to be fatal. If a bite breaks the skin and remains untreated, the recipient will almost certainly die. Treatment means having to undergo 4 rabies shots.
Lighten up, Francis.
Dogs are great escape artists. They can get out in seconds while your back is turned.
FOUR whole rabies shots to keep from dying! Horrors!
Let's hope you never have a pulmonary embolism. They give you MANY, PAINFUL shots in the belly (blood thinners). It isn't fun, but you deal with it, because the alternative is death.
This 15 pound, deaf and blind dog wasn't going to hurt anyone. I am one of the biggest supporters of law enforcement on this forum. I have family members who are/were law enforcement. That being said, this guy is a trigger happy idiot who needs to find another job.
A Shih Tzu could clamp on, not let go, and you’d hardly realize he was there.
5 is NOT OLD FOR A DOG.
MY Aussie Heeler went to 17 1/2
“Unlike Andy and Barney, this guy looks like he uses intimidation and force at the least perceived provocation.”
‘roid rage? What was the dog gonna do? Bite his shoe? A little dog like that just boot him in the ass and he’ll be gone.
I spent 25 years working daily with the police. The vast majority were good guys and gals, but there were always a few who should never have been hired in the first place. The problem is... once someone makes it past their probationary period it is almost impossible to get rid of them.
Thank goodness this sad sack is most likely going to get fired after killing a helpless dog that was already close to the end of his life. The dog should be honored by the police for helping get rid of this worthless piece of crap who was most likely a blight on the department. My guess is that once the guy gets fired the lawsuit will go away.
According to the dumbass cop that shot the poor dog.
How many times before have we heard of cops lying just to save their sorry asses?
Even it it was OMG, "RABID", there's no way that poor little dog could have been a threat to anyone...
You know it and I know it so stop with your hypothitical shit!
I am sorry I misread the article... I thought the dog was 13... not 13 pounds. My wife and I had a blind dog. He used to walk in circles... and he was an escape artist as well. If you didn’t latch the door when you went to get the mail... somehow, he would find his way out and fall off the porch.
“Nothing gets FR more wound up than some doggie abuse story.”
I’ve come to the conclusion that everyone on FR are dog owners.
Threads like these bring out the absolute idiocy and ignorance of members of this site..........
No dog is worth $1 million. Keep the officer if he apologizes and pays for the dog. He looks the kind of cop who can keep away the thugs.
Liz you are good at this can you find/post the mayor’s office phone number and post it to get this officer fired?
Here is the change.org petition

But that's just me
No that officer needs to go. He has past history and he’s burned a bridge in that town. I would not want to look at his sorry ass every day if I lived there.
Does that county not have a freaking animal control officer that is trained in how to deal with animals? For real? In some places it’s called a dog warden or dog catcher.
He could have killed the dog by sitting his fat black overweight ass on it, never mind shooting it. What a “man”, killing a little blind dog. I spit on you.
And the fact that there are idiots here who support this guy says all you need to know on how far this website is devolving.
It’s be devolving for some time.
