I was a police officer for the LAPD in the 70’s and never was threatened by a family dog. A member of a family, yes. but never by a dog. A few growled at me, protecting their master. I would just scratch their head and they would settle down. sheesh.

Over my 28 plus years as a police officer, I have been confronted on several occasions by dogs. Without exception, I tried my best to fend off the dog with whatever was present, a trashcan lid or a fence or my coat, whatever. In all those years, I have yet to shoot a dog (and I don’t like dogs).

The problem might be, the homeowner instinctively requesting to secure the dog...Knowing they’d shot the dog otherwise.
