November 2010: Des Moines Washington Police Kill Dog Hiding in Bush
Des Moines, washington
A Newfoundland escaped from her backyard for the first time in two years. Neighbors reported she was running loose and called police. Officers arrived and felt she was a severe threat to public safety. This was due to her running away from them and sometimes barking. So then when she entered a secure yard, instead of shutting the gate and waiting for her to calm down, they cornered her in a bush and shot her four times.
