March, 2011 - Calgary, Canada -
Officers responding to a noise disturbance in Calgary were faced with an aggressive dog, described as a Rottweiler. Officers requested the dog be put away but instead the door was opened and the dog was allowed out. The dog charged at officers and was shot. Injured, the dog ran back home. Officers then tried to negotiate the release of the dog so they could take him to a veterinarian, but the owner refused. Instead, when the dog finally died, they callously dumped the body outside the house. Nice.
