Family Outraged After Officer Shoots Their Dog

CINCINNATI -- A Blue Ash family is outraged after returning home to find their dog had been shot and killed by a police officer.

The dog was a Chihuahua-mix named “Jack” that Scott and Sharon Bullock had given to their 12-year-old son for his birthday a few years ago.

When the Bullocks returned home from a family member's funeral on Friday, they found blood and three bullets on their front porch – along with a note to call the Blue Ash Police Department about their dog.

The Bullocks were shocked to learn that Jack had gotten out of the backyard and two officers who tried to catch him, ended up shooting and killing him right on the family's front porch.

"He was cornered on the porch and scared," said Sharon Bullock. "The officer bent down bare-handed to pick up Jack, and Jack bit him."

"My five-year-old cried himself to sleep the night before last, wanting his dog," said Sharon Bullock.

"He ‘barks’ for him" added Scott Bullock. "He'd ‘bark’ and Jack would always come to him, so he's outside going ‘Bark bark bark,’ hoping he's gonna come back. It's heartbreaking."

The Bullocks told their five-year-old and three-year-old sons that Jack ran away.

The Bullocks admit they were at fault for leaving their dog outside, and are sorry the officer was bitten, but they say their dog was not a vicious animal and had never bitten anyone before.

They're wondering why the officers didn't call the SPCA to catch the dog.

"They didn't make that phone call other than to come scoop the dog off the porch after they shot him," said Scott Bullock. "Two grown men that can't gather up a five-pound dog – and they're trained police officers – sounds ridiculous to me."

That officer later explained to the family that he was following procedure.

Blue Ash police say one of the officers was bitten on both hands. One hand was bitten 17 times and the other was bitten nine times.

The dog was holding on so tight he left one of his teeth in the officer's hands.

An officer attempted to tase the dog while another officer was holding him, but it did not work, so they had to shoot the animal.

Blue Ash police say the officers handled the situation according to department policy.

Big strong policeman so scared of a 5lb Chihauhau that he tazered it and then shot it 3 times.

This BS is out of control! :evil:

So the officer corned and provoked the dog into a self preservation defense responce and for that this mini dog was shot????

Probably the same guy that would taser an old lady. :shock:

Three and a half hours later and there is no such story to be found at that site. Search words "dog" and "shot" bring up a few stories including a dog found shot in a backyard, but not his story...
BS on the newspaper not you Hunter

Amazing how quickly the memory hole works in today's world. This is why I've always been a fan of printed media. Too hard to retract an account of an "isolated" incident such as this.

The less exposure they have to the light of day, the better the environment becomes to foster their growth and spread.

Like noisome mushrooms, "isolated" incidents don't like the exposure to the light. It makes people start to realize such incidents, while not necessarily commonplace are becoming more and more common. Much better for funding and policy to bury such things in the back of a filing cabinet in the basement, preferrably under a leaky pipe.

It takes a pretty good aim. Those nervous little dogs make for one heck of a moving target.

I own small dogs, a Chihauhau, and a Yorky mix. They are superb companion animals. Mine are very dear to my heart and I'm certain that the murdered dog was to his family. There is ZERO reason that dog had to die; PERIOD :!: End of discussion. The community should come down very hard on these poor excuses for public servants, aside from any actions/inaction taken by their department. They should not be allowed to hide behind "department policy". If this is how they would treat what is essentially an utterly defenseless animal what can be expected of any of their future behavior, judgements, life and death decisions :?: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

It gets even better:

Quote:
Police Defend Decision To Shoot Small Dog
Police also say the family’s dog was not licensed and did not have its required rabies shots or other vaccinations. They’ve cited the dog’s owner for one count of failure to register the dog, in addition to two counts “relating to his allowing the dog to run at large.”


Kill the kid's dog, then issue him a ticket... I wonder when he gets his medal for being injured while on duty?

I suspect the new trend of shooting dogs may actually be a gang initiation ritual.
