A loose German Shepherd was shot multiple times, but survived, after the dog was cornered and - like many dogs cornered - lunged at officers. The dog had not bitten anyone. The dog is expected to survive.

Newark Police Shoot Injured Cat, Another Shooting Involved Dog
A Newark police officer shot a cat who had been injured by a car in lieu of transporting the animal to a veterinarian.
In the second instance, the parents of a dog bite victim notified the on-scene officer that a dog, sitting on a porch, was friendly. As the officer looked for the other dog who had bitten the child, the "friendly" porch dog followed him down the alley-way cornering him. The dog did not attempt to lunge or bite but did growl. This was such a significant threat that the officer fired a shot at the dog, hitting him/her. In lieu of getting the dog to a veterinarian, the officer proceeded to kill the dog. The dog, by the way, is described as a Labrador Retriever mix and in this linked article, he is described as shooting the dog 6 times, not just twice.
The Chief of police wrote that article and "stands by" his pet-shooting officers!

Bridgeton Police Shoot Dog in Foot
Bridgeton, New Jersey
May, 2011
Breed:Described as a Pit Bull
The burglary of people’s possessions seems to take backseat in order to report on a dog getting shot for not doing anything but “lunging” so viciously, he didn’t hurt anyone. The officer shot the dog in the foot, but the dog will be fine.

Officer kills dog attacking other dog
Here's a story out of New Jersey where some jerk threw a small poodle into a yard with three dogs. One of the dogs attacked the poodle. The dog wouldn't drop the poodle so an officer busted out his gun and shot the dog, killing him.
