Saw on a law enforcement forum where the department hand delivered an apology to the owner of the dog, via the officer that was first on scene. That shift also pooled resources to buy the guy a new dog before the city had time to offer restitution. Of course this news will never be told.
We are talking about a dog which was someone's pet. Just FYI, did any of you guys here about the small time criminal shot and killed by officers responding to a robbery attempt by an armed assailant. The caller is now under arrest since he repeatedly reported that the bad guy had a handgun. When officers approached, he fled and while reaching to his waist he was shot. He didn't make it the hospital all because the offers "percieved" a threat before they got there. The bad guy never had a gun at all, the caller just wanted a faster response by the cops. It happens all the time at different levels and if you work long enough it will happen to you also.
