It reads to me like the attack was happening as the dogs moved onto the neighbor's property, and that the shooting was in fact meant to protect his dog from the ongoing attack


Surely the cop's dog was on a leash. After all they cited the owner of the dog that got shot with a violation for having an unleashed dog.

Are you saying that the dog was so strong that it drug the cop and his dog into the owner's yard? How did you come to that conclusion?

When a dog is on a leash and is approached by a dog off leash, the leashed gets overly defensive no matter the training.

I can see the issue with two dogs being off leash attacking a leased dog, it's a scary situation for the leased dog, at that point most times you're better off letting the leash go and let them sort it out calmly.

I blame any dog owner that let's their dog get off leash in the neighborhood, it's simply irresponsible dog ownership. Obviously sometimes you truly can't avoid it. This case it seems "princess" dug her way out, and probably wasn't her first time.

The gun was probably way over excessive. A large wooden stick or pepper spray would have been a better choice.
