That dog was not aggressive and the story is a lie, this is disgraceful what happened and the officer should be held accountable neither of them ever hurt anyone they were scared and lost.
It’s ain’t even charge at them. Just liars
This is so sad to hear - I immediately imagined the dog just being scared or even excited and ran at them - I know that’s what mine would do - I am so sorry the owners are going thru this
But when a person calls about a dog charging at you the police will DO NOTHING. No citation, nothing
@GC901 the dogs weren’t charging at anybody. Owner was cited. Police are liars
