Problem solved she thought until she went home.
A Montague police officer stopped by her home. Let me guess, the gas station called the cops when she didn't pay but forgot to call them after she came back and paid?

No kidding. After reading the condition of the dog sounds like putting him down might have been a good thing long ago.

Is it just me or have dogs become targets of opportunity for trigger happy types?
To: MRMEAN
Since the dog was trying to bite his boot, was the dog lying down and as the officer passed, did he try to bite the boot? Why would a standing dog attack a boot, I can see maybe a leg, this makes no sense at all.

A retired fighting dog showing aggression? Come on, we know all dogs bred for dog fights are docile. If they weren't, we'd be reading stories on here about attacks by pit bulls and other fighting dogs.

He's a boxer. Boxers are almost universally sweethearts.

Sorry, but my reaction is that the officer should be fired. The last thing you need is a trigger happy police officer. Today it's a dog. Tomorrow it will be a man. This is not someone who can be trusted with a gun.

He was a fighting reject. He wouldn't fight,"

All my dogs, goats and some of the cats take a good sniff of me and any strangers that comes within range, it's part of their greetings.

The dog didn't lick his boot correctly.

I'd be too afraid of shooting myself if a dog was on my foot.
It must be nice to be a police officer at times like this. Only the police officer's version matters.

Guess you had to be their, but if the cop felt threatened, I don't blame him. People come before dogs.

I garandamntee ya my wolf/malamute mix would more than likely try and stop anyone from just walking up to my door. That is her job! Any cop who has ever been on my property, and they come by once in a while because of deer and moose being injured or killed out on the highway, know they are in "her" territory and wait for me to come to them. Does this warrant my dog being shot? Cops are supposed to be a little smarter than this aren't they? This guy jumped the "gun" in my opinion. Most officers will tell you to put the dog up unless you want it shot, if he/she is displaying an aggressive attitude. I have known dogs that do not like uniforms period, everyone from the mailman to the meter reader. Should we shoot them all?
This cop having seen the dog, should have waited for the owner to show up, period! The dog doesn't know him from Adam. If he was displaying an aggressive attitude, which most cops do, the dog was letting him know who's property he was on. How in the world can you shoot a dog for protecting it's home?
This guy should not be a cop if he cannot show better judgment than this!

He wouldn't fight,Other dogs, if you believe her. He wasn't shot for attacking another dog.
