I am so sad about the fate of this poor dog who did nothing but what he was trained to do.

If something had to be done, why not just let his family keep him and fire him from the police? How could they be so cruel?

Things like this occasionally happen here in the US, too, and I am just as sickened about them as I am about this.

I suspect the man who made this decision cares nothing about living beings.

He must not have pets and, if he does, he surely doesn't care about them. If he says he does, he is not being honest with himself.

I feel sorry for the man. He will have to live with the fact he killed a loving dog who was following his training that the police gave him.

What next? Is he going to kill his police officers who make a mistake?

Look in your own back yard, sir. Have you never made a mistake? Have you never done what you were trained or taught to do only to have someone else think you did wrong?

I am glad I do not know you. I like to think the people I know and the people of my community have a heart along with a brain and don't go off half-cocked and hurt a poor, trusting animal.
