Cop Responding To #DomesticViolence Call Shoots Dog

I find no fault with the Officer, as this story has been reported by the Miami Herald.

When I read this story I felt just, so sad.

It made me think that the animal that was shot, and being treated for non threatening injuries, was protecting the victim of #DomesticViolence.  In short, #TheLink -

Our furry companions are wired to protect us and when one of us is in harms way and then you introduce another person, a complete outsider - an officer, although well meaning.  Our companions don't know the difference and neither do the officers that respond to these calls.  Chaos often ensues.

At least this officer fired a non life threatening shot that allowed him to get to the woman in need.  Major #Kudos to this un-named Officer for his quick thinking!
