I have something to say.

What in the world? Why the hell would anybody shoot a dog, on it's own property, while responding to a BURGLER call? Yeah right, the dogs stole her precious china vase.
Every Thursday, our school police officer comes into our Helath class and talks to us about stuff. He was telling us about his weapons one day, and there's a fairly new one that every police officer is suppose to have. It's called a Taser. The Taser is a gun type thing, but it shoots a fish hook into the person, so they can't get away, and shocks them for five seconds. They can keep shocking whoever they have lured until they give up. WHY NOT USE THIS YOU MORONS???
I agree with wolflady about the pepper spray too. Anything would have been better than killing an innocent dog.
