Family Looking For Answers After Officer Shoots Dog

ALEXANDER, AR -- A family is grieving tonight over the loss of their dog shot by an Alexander police officer on Thursday.

The officer says he felt threatened, but the dog's owners' say something else.

In a police report, issued by the Alexander Police Department, the officer describes a vicious dog that came at him.

But the pet's owners say that's just not true.

They call the Mastiff/Shar-Pei mix a sweet dog with a big bark, but no bite.

Linda Barton says she saw an Alexander police officer shoot her dog in the head.

Barton says police came to her home after she called about an issue involving her grandson.

She says the issue was never resolved and now Barton faces another one.

Her granddaughter Kailey Northern said, "She was just beside herself. She was just traumatized. She was just crying and screaming on the phone he shot my dog, he shot my dog."

Barton said the dog, named Boo, got away from her and circled the officer with his tail wagging.

She says he was being protective but never tried to hurt the officer.

But the police report states something different.

The officer says the dog ran aggressively towards him.

He says he couldn't get back in his car and as a last resort fired one shot at the dog to stop the threat.

But Boo was still alive.

Northern said, "It was inhumane how he went about the situation."

The family says the officer left the home, not offering to help the suffering dog.

After calling local vets, the pet owners realized he wouldn't survive and put Boo down.

The family would like to talk to the Alexander Police Department about their policies on aggressive dogs and perhaps making some changes so this doesn't happen again.

(Polite, passive/aggressive white folks, not looking to make any trouble, "Please sir, might you consider making some policy changes so you don't execute anybody's dog again? If you have time, of course..."

You know what will solve this, some SWLODs! - AF)

We did talk to the police chief briefly about this incident, he sent us a news release on the police report yesterday.

But today, we could not get a hold of him to answer questions on the department's aggressive dog policy and training.

We need an Arf Sharpton to get on the air and get folks riled up about all of these dog killings.
