Great town.
While on their way to catch some criminals, the cops will stop off at your house and shoot your dog! But hey, nothing's too good for the taxpayers of Muskego!

Poor dog.
Mr. Davida soon to be quite wealthy.

"The first bullet hit the ground close to me. The second shot hit the driveway. Then he shot and killed my dog right in front of me." Pathetic shooting......and shooting that could've easily killed the innocent homeowner.

The cop would just as readily shot the mans teenage son if he had run up instead of the dog.
These people need to be forced into a new line of work.

What kind of burglar ANSWERS the door and BRINGS his dog along on the job?

Our local cop maced my dog when he came to take a report on the wifes stolen bike. We all know how deadly those jack russel terriers are.

OK. Time for a change in policy.
From now on every time this happens, the civilian gets to shoot a police dog of his choice.

What a sad story. Not everyone is lucky enough to experience this level of connection with their animals, but this dog clearly was a member of the family. For instance, people constantly call me "Dad" for my two dogs or call them "my kids". I know that they are dogs, but that doesn't lessen their value to me nor their positive impact on my life.
I hope the trigger happy cop is severely prosecuted for causing such pain and suffering. That person is a dangerously reckless individual who should NOT be allow to carry a firearm, let alone be shooting several times before finally killing the family dog in what sounds like a neighborhood.

You have a Jack Russell Terrorist also? One of the smartest breeds I have ever seen.

Sorry, no can do. The life of a police dog is worth about the same as the life of a peasant. Maybe a few peasants. Certianly a lot more than that of a peasant dog.

Is it in their training to take no chances with dogs? There has to be some better procedure than this.

Revenge on a police dog will not help you and only destroys a good dog. Had this situation taken place at my home, I or one or more cops or perhaps all of us would have lain by my dog to greet eternity.

Lately what I have seen, most metro cops are a bunch of girly men. Thanks to affirmative action and the lowering of test scores for admission.

1) why would anybody mace a little terrier? was it trying to pee on his leg or something?
2) bumper sticker: Jack Russell terriers -- they're football-shaped for a reason

Mr. Davida soon to be quite wealthy. I think all you can sue for is the replacement cost of the dog. No punitive damages.
