[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.]

From the story, the dog was unaccompanied and appeared to be rabid - it was walking around in circles. The owner showed up after the fact. Who leaves a deaf and blind dog free to run around outdoors unleashed? Never mind getting hit by a car - it can’t even detect, let get away from aggressive dogs and other predators.

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.

I’ve been around dogs all my life.
I own dogs. I rescue dogs and do service dog training.
Maybe that is the reason why we see this from a completely different point of view.
Maybe you’re not used to having dogs around and I understand that.

I still believe the cop was a complete idiot for shooting this little dog.
He was scared for his life? Come on.... 🤦‍♀️
