Cop shoots dog inside Petco | Fox News Video
Sad a dog had to die, but I blame the owner. Had the incident happened on the street where an owner lost control of an obviously aggressive dog, I'd have shot too. The foresight the officer showed about her target and what was beyond it impressed me.
If a dog isn't socially polite in public places with people and other dogs, it either better be 100% handled or it doesn't go out. IMO the owner got his/her dog killed. If the dog had killed the Maltese and was taken by animal control, it is possible the dog would have been euthanized anyway. At minimum had a record. The owner still needs to pay up on the vet bills that will accrue for the Maltese. But I guess that will be a matter for civil/small claims court.
IMO good shoot
