Dog was purposely left off leash and allowed to run far out of the sight line and control of the owner. A pack of two dogs was menacing the victims. The owners were too far away to intervene and the dogs were not responding to (far away) voice commands. The victim repeated called for the owner to help but the owner did not in any meaningful way. Dog was adult sized and not a "puppy" as claimed by theat fault owner. Owner was also at fault for purposefully deciding to allow her unresponsive and untrained dog to run free in a public park not meant for unleashed dogs. VERY different from a dog slipping out of a harness your reach. The owner is 100% at fault. The other person is a victim. |

"Uh, no. Shooting a dog charging at you, in a relatively populated park, is bad choice. He could have missed, hit a bystander. The bullet could have traveled through te dog and continued on. Very bad judgment. I condemn him for it."
+1. So, if that "justified" bullet had strayed and hit a human being, would you all have been so quick to be on this man's side? What if it were, god forbid, someone you knew? Sure, the dog owner was irresponsible, but the gun-toter made a choice to escalate and use deadly force. Is that what we've come to? Shooting dogs in a public park where innocents are around? |

Dog owner was clearly at fault.
It's a shame her beautiful dog died, but the death is on her head. She could have easily prevented it by leashing, as is the law. Leashing your dog protects your dog, my dog, and other people. LEASH YOUR DOGS |

| Mean, the dog is one issue, but I am not a fan of people walking around armed and just shooting. That bullet could have gone anywhere. I am trained in shooting, and my husband has a C&C, but people should not be walking around parks with guns. |

The 10 month lab puppy? |

Few people would consider a full sized lab a "puppy" particularly if it was off leash, away from its owner and acting aggressively towards you. |

So if the owner of the dog had a gun and felt threatened by a man with a gun who shot her dog does she have a right to shoot him? Hes the one that pulled the gun in the first place right? That would make me feel threatened.
He was wrong, The dog should have been leashed yes, but the dog didnt bite anyone and wasnt even barking. People need to take the time to learn about animal behavior. A jumping dog doesnt mean its aggressive. |

Really? You would murder another human who killed your dog in self defense? Who is the nut job here? |

Youre an idiot. When I jaywalk, I can't suddently run down the street and start bitting children. Maybe you can. Maybe you shouldn't be jaywalking. |

The vast majority of police have never drawn their weapons, except in training. Who will you call when you're threatened, attacked or afraid? |
