Poodle or pitibull, dogs are fair game to the Po-po.
Its an easy fix: when calls with little to no information like that come in the police should just ignore all of them. Quit responding. Let homeowners and citizens fend for themselves at all costs because the police are unsure which residence they should respond too. If the threat is real then (Oh Well) at least they didnt shoot a dog or the wrong person.
Cops spend all that time getting dolled up in their fantasy gear. They just have to kill something to make it seem worthwhile.
