I fail to see any reason to not sue the crap out of them. A wrong address, no reason to be there, shooting a dog. It is idiocy. I have always had a working breed dog, currently a Malinois, her job is to confront strangers. I would not take kindly to an officer walking up to my house with gun drawn, dog or not.
Absolutely agree. We have a GSD... and his purpose (other than being a family loved pet) is one of protection. Unless a lot more is learned about this incident, the department owes the family a new dog IMHO.
