Talked about it with co-workers at lunch today.........so sad!!!! :mad:

It's horrible, I hope they discipline him, and at least take away his firearms.

The thing I read that just sticks in my head was when Bear-Bear's young boy ran over to the officer and said "did you shoot him with a taser?" He must have been so scared :(

What a sad story. :( Anyone who knows huskies or has been around huskies knows that they can sound really vicious when playing. I was listening to my "pack" this morning and it sounded like a dog fight out there but I knew it wasn't, they just sound mean, nobody was getting hurt. I've had multiple times when people asked me if I needed help breaking up a dog fight when my dogs are playing haha. So sad, who brings out a gun in a community dog park, give the owner a chance to break it up. I wonder if the german shepherd even had any wounds on it.

like I said on FB.. I can´t believe the poor poor judgment of this "officer"..

not only for killing a playing dog.. but carrying a gun in a park with kids and such.. what he did was outrageous.. and he could´ve have done more harm to people around.. what an a$$..

I also read that Bear Bear´s owner was threatened to be tased if she approached her dying dog..:mad:.. really.. WT* is wrong with these people

he not only need to be removed of his guns.. he needs disciplinary action as well.. I don´t want to think how he treats person conflicts..:(

Amy, it's not just huskies. My two sound like they are killing each other sometimes. My neighbor made a comment "your dogs really like to play, don't they?" I can imagine what she must have thought the first time she heard it.
I haven't read this incident yet. I think I'll wait until I'm at home. :(

My son's Aussies also sound and look like they're killing each other. They play like this until one of them gets hurt.. It's only playing.

What a tragic end for this poor boy.

Rest In Peace Bear Bear :(

I saw this on Facebook and on Cyber-Sibes' blog. RIP, Bear Bear :(

It sounds like the guy seriously over reacted and should be punished
for this. Terrible judgement on his part. His dog didn't receive so much as
a scratch from this so called"attack". That's the problem with always
carying a "hammer", pretty soon every thing looks like a "nail".:(

[Medusa]

How incredibly sad. I do hope that there's justice for Bear Bear. :(

[Alysser]

I hope the public outcry brings some justice for poor Bear Bear, what a horrible tragic story :(
