This is really sad and will make any dog owners heart break like it did to mine...
Lots of people will blame the officers, but imo it is the dog owners fault. He should have left him in the car wiith the windows mostly up before getting out and recording a crime scene. Like any responsible dog owner would do. This man has a history with complaining and sueing police officers its unfortunate his dog had to die for him to get a chance at winning a lawsuit. Hopefully he will not be allowed to own another dog as that was an unfair way for him to die. Officers should be trained to taze dogs though. His death could have been avoided many ways. Tazing him or simply listening to the officers would have been smart and avoided this. Would be interesting to hear of a cop dog getting killed by a citizen for self defense, as they are treated the same as a human officer.
