Sure they will. There was an article on here within the last two months about cops shooting two pit bulls in a fenced in yard because the cops’ dog jumped the fence supposedly in pursuit of a criminal who may or may not have passed through the yard. The pit bulls were protecting their property. The cops killed them.
In case you missed the multiple reiterations, my dogs are -never- out in the yard without me due to indigenous wildlife issues.
*Never*.
[FWIW, I’d *love* to see a cop dog “jump blind” over a 6’ stockade fence]
Just so I don’t have to repeat myself AGAIN:
When my dogs are out, I am out and I’m always carrying because of coyotes, mountain lions, bears, rabid coons, etc.
It would *not* be a “Defenseless little old lady’s Pomeranian killed by cops” scenario.
Sheesh.
