Title: Man Heartbroken After Cowardly Cop Kills His Dog

A San Diego man said he’s heartbroken after police officers responding to a call near his home in Pacific Beach shot and killed his dog.

Police officers were called to Felspar and Bayard streets just before 5:30 a.m. Sunday for what appeared to be a domestic disturbance. When they arrived, officers say they were confronted by a 50 to 60 pound pit bull.

One officer fired, killing the dog.

The dog’s owner Ian Anderson spoke with NBC 7 about the death of his dog, Burberry. He said the 6-year-old pit bull was his service dog.

Anderson stood on a sidewalk outside his home and walked through the last moments of Burberry’s life.

Anderson said Burberry started barking when police knocked on his door. Once the dog was outside, he stopped barking according to Anderson. He claims one officer bent down and petted the pit bull. Then, the second officer reacted to seeing the animal.

“The other officer yelled and screamed at the dog for no reason to get inside. It startled the dog," Anderson said.

"[The officer] jumped back, went this way, drew his weapon,” he said. “Boom. Shot right in the head and he was done. He was dead."

The San Diego Police Department issued the following statement: “The preservation of life is our top priority and this includes the lives of animals. This incident is currently being investigated as any Officer Involved Shooting would be to assure proper procedures were followed. Any further comments prior to the completion of the investigation would simply be premature.”

Anderson is heartbroken at losing the dog he says has helped children with Down Syndrome as well as helping him get through his own anxiety-ridden time dealing with his father's death.

“They’re there to put their heads on your lap and you know everything is going to be okay. There's just no way to explain the bond," he said.

"He was the best dog in the entire world,” Anderson said through tears. “I would do anything to have him back right now. Absolutely anything. "

No arrests were made in the domestic disturbance.

Pitt bulls should be killed on sight.

Based on the post, sounds like the dog was shot for no reason.

Statistically, pitbulls are suspicious but you are right that this dog got shot as an automatic safety measure. Seems extreme. Not every pitbull will attack and they do give the usual canine warning signs first. A cop shouldn't hesitate to shoot an attacking pitbull but it shouldn't be the first thing they do.

The police handbook's page on pitbulls is too often this:

  1. See pitbull
  2. Pull gun
  3. Shoot pitbull dead

What is even worse is how many really harmless non-pitbulls they shoot routinely and just as arbitrarily. Like they want to acclimate the public to the idea that they will just shoot any dog they encounter and there is no recourse to their policy.

" they will just shoot any dog they encounter and there is no recourse to their policy. "

Until they do it to the wrong persons dog, and while on the wrong property. I do not own any pit bulls, never have. I own Labs's, Border Collie, and Beagle. Come onto my property and shoot, try to shoot one of my fur babies for no reason, you are history!

I find it very noteworthy that utility people ( phone co, gas co, cable tv, water dept ) as well as mail men, UPS drivers, etc rarely have issues with dogs. Yeah, I know someone will come along and post articles. I speak from first hand experience. I worked for the telephone co for 11 years, and have been in hundreds of yards with dogs, never had troubles. I knew lots of guys with the other companies, never heard of any issues. Some people are irrationally paranoid about dogs. Yes, I know there are & have been people attacked by dogs, but I think those are the exception rather than the rule.

Again, IMHO the shooting of the dog in this story was not justified

It doesn't appear the dog so much as snarled or growled. I can see being wary of a pitbull on his own territory but this is out of hand.

" Anderson said through tears. “I would do anything to have him back right now. Absolutely anything. "

My sympathies to Mr. Anderson. I cannot imagine how heartbroken he is. And angry as well I would assume.

As BobCeleste would say, the cops created another enemy. The cop that fired the shot will one day get a visit from Karma, and it will be a bitch.
