How sad. Something similar happened in Springfield, OR, the town right next to us, to a client of ours dog. The police were called to the house NEXT DOOR for a burguarly, but ended up going to the wrong house. The police went into the backyard and the dog was in the back and started barking and growling at the officers. She is the sweetest dog ever!!! But it was her backyard, so I don't blame her. Anyway, the police ended up shooting her in her leg, which required surgery to fix. Luckily she lived, and the police station paid for her surgery. She recovered though and is doing well. I suppose they never caught the person who was robbing the house next door.
