The officer came to the house in response to Middletons 911 call. Middleton made the call around 11:00 AM, after returning to his home and finding it robbed. Middleton was in his fields when the officer showed up. He was hurrying back to the house when the deputy shot Candy.
According to Middleton, the shooting was baseless. Candy did not bite or threaten the officer.
Shes barking when he pulls into the driveway letting me know someones at our house...
Though shot in the head, Candy did not die immediately. Middleton had no gun of his own his weapons were stolen and tearfully begged the deputy to put down the dog. The deputy refused.
And then I had to do the unthinkable, the otherwise unthinkable, he said. I had to kill my dog with my bare hands and put her out of her suffering, praying for this to be over with.
Other officers soon appeared at the farm, tasers and pistols drawn. They demanded to know whose blood was all over Middletons shirt.
That is the blood of my dog that I was holding because this deputy pulled up and shot her in my yard, he told them.

Why is the name of Deputy hound hitter is not in the article? I’ve tried to find it in other stories of this incident but the puppy punchers names is always suspiciously absent.
Evidently he gets extra points if the animal suffers.
The deputy’s name is Jerred Dooley.
Seems like a lot of macho *ssholes in uniform, who have never fired a weapon in defense and never will, like to get their nuts off shooting defenseless dogs.
Pretty sick.
I read the cop was fired today. Not enough, but it’s a start.
That is good to hear, usually they don’t even get a slap on the wrist. Thanks for posting.
