Pulling out a gun seems like an overreaction to me. While I would never react the way he did I do understand that some people get very scared. But to call animal control and drag it out like this? If someone pulled a gun on my dog I would never let my dog run at anyone again - lesson quickly learned.

I saw the clip of the Tennessee dog shot by a cop and it seems that cops need more training on how to tell friendly dog behavior from attacking dog behavior. That dog just looked happy to be out of the car romping on the side of the road til the cop killed him.

Good luck. I hope this is over for you soon and you never see the man again.
