I guess the humor would have faded a little if the officer fired three rounds into your Malamute.
Okay rant time for me. It is not okay for the public to just go around shooting Innocent people's dogs. It's not okay for meter readers or postmen to shoot dogs. Unless the officer was serving a no knock warrant and actually being attacked by the dog, it's not okay to go around killing peoples beloved pets. If he is that afraid of non life threatening situations, he needs to find a line of work that he feels safer doing. I would suggest something that does not involve carrying a weapon. A certain responsibility comes with that.
Now time for me to rant.

No its not, but that is not what happened here.

I guess your not a postman or meter reader. Have you ever been attacked by a strange dog? Or had one come up to you on the street and startle you? Owning a pet is a responsibilty. You have a right to own a pet if the city you live in allows, but you also must accept the responsibility to keep your pet from doing things that could put it in danger, or others in danger.

This comment is insane. The officers were in a public place doing their job. A large dog got loose ( because of an irresponsible owner ), and runs out and is claimed to be acting in an aggressive manner. Everything in the article is speculative. But for you to condemn the actions of the officer just shows you do not care about the law, just your opinion. Did you even read the article? Or just the headline?

Another silly comment......
