CAPE CORAL, Fla.- A Cape Coral Police officer is under investigation for shooting a family's pet.
Neighbors called police to NW 37th Place on Thursday, after two dogs were running loose and chasing walkers. The officer said one of the dogs lunged at him, and he had no choice, but to shoot.
The dog will be recover, but its owner and some neighbors say the shooting should have never happened.

LEBANON, Pa. (WHTM) - A police officer shot and killed a dog when it charged him in Lebanon City.
Police were called to the area of 13th and Mifflin Streets for two dogs running loose. They found the dogs near the Brookside Apartments. Officers said that one of the dogs was a poodle, and the second was a pit bull.
When one of the officers approached the dogs, the pit bull growled, bared its teeth then charged the policeman. The officer was able to side step the dog, but when it began to charge again, he shot and killed it with his service weapon.
The owner of the pit bull has yet to be identified, and the investigation is still ongoing

Witnesses say a Wilmington Police Officer shot a family's dog during an arrest Sunday night. Police say the pitbull ran towards them after they arrested a man on Rankin Street in Wilmington.
The dog was shot four times, which police say is protocal in a situation when an animal is aggressive towards officers.
Witnesses say the dog did not run at the group of officers but instead just walked towards them. They say their family pet was killed needlessly and the police should have just arrested the suspect and left the area.
Police did not release any details on the suspect that was arrested but say he is a convicted felon.
