Some food for thought...

Cop dogs are trained attack dogs. Without a handler present there is no way to know how a dog will act...

If a dog goes off, "shoo dog" ain't gonna work. If they grab a limb they ain't gonna let go unless you have the magic word. Cop dogs are usually trained to respond to their handlers-in commands given in German.

This dog should not have been out and about.

Let's say the dog see's a kid running down the street and the instinct to chase takes over?

How many times have we seen someone that owns a PB or Rott cited/and or jailed because their dog was out and about?

-------------------------

Other than USAR, military sentry and Customs work dogs should not be used by Law Enforcement.

The thing that really pi$$es me off is when I hear of a dog killed by some slug (redneck?) and the PD justifies it by saying something stupid like, "it could have been an officer..."

Oh sure......send an animal into a situation where they can be killed or maimed? Poor fricking animals only know a job and a job well done.
I am sure that if they knew what they were doing they'd opt for a porch, food and stew bones as opposed to being a point for the man.

Take a look at some of the documentaries on the dogs that served in Viet Nam.

Yes, they helped save lives on the battlefield, but in the end what happened to them?

----------------------
No, the dog did not deserve to be shot. But there is enough blame to spread to both parties....

My brother had a nasty GS dog that was a total jerk, While he was on vacation I was watching it. It got loose and was hit by a car.

Do I blame the driver of the car? NOPE, It was all my fault for not making sure the dog was secured. END OF SUBJECT.

No one wants to accept blame for anything anymore..
