This one I heard about in a private email. According to to Megan Hood, she first heard of the death of her beloved Blossom through a phone call from a man at Jonesboro City Hall. He told her that her dog had been hit by a car, and that the Texas Department of Transportation had incinerated the body.
Later, she received a phone call from a private investigator, who told her that her dog had not been hit by a car, but had been shot by the Jonestown Police Department.
“Above playing, dancing, eating, hiking, and cuddling, she loved everything with her small, yet beautiful heart. However, she had the appearance of a Coyote, which the officers found a threat, and reason to murder her.”
This happened on September 6, 2013.

Cops were responding to a missing child report when they entered the yard of Sean Kendall and shot his Weimaraner.
The missing child was later found sleeping inside his home.
The owner of the dog, Sean Kendall, drove to his home and confronted the cop about killing his dog. Be careful watching this video, it is brutal. “So I get to bury my dog because an officer couldn’t back up and close the fucking gate,” he asks. And a protest was organized, “Justice for Geist”:
The local police chief — of course — defends the officer’s actions. “I haven’t seen this type of public outcry when certain human beings have lost their lives,” he said. The dog — he argued — was simply too close to the officer: never mind that the officer entered the backyard without the permission of the owner.
“Something’s got to change,” Kendall said. “It’s running rampant.” He’s right. It is. You can sign a petition to demand that the officer be held accountable for his actions and that all officers be trained to deal with dogs. But the problem isn’t just that cops don’t understand how to deal with dogs: this is just one manifestation of American police overreach.

Kelsey Markou was walking her family dog, named Dog, when a pitbull attacked. She tried to get the pitbull off of Dog, and a man walking by called the police.
When the pollice officer arrived, Kelsey told the officer which dog was hers and which was the one who attacked. Kelsey’s mother describes what happened next:
“He got 5 to 6 feet away from the dogs and just started shooting at them.”
Kelsey estimated the police officer fired eight shots. The pitbull was taken to the vet. Dog was dead at the scene.
Kelsey’s mom explained:
“I want them to be accountable and really look at the way the situation was handled. We’re traumatized, and I have a daughter that’s going to be traumatized the rest of her life. She’ll never forget it. She hasn’t been sleeping. That’s a hard pill to swallow.”

“After the first shot, the dog is captured by the animal control officer on the catch pole. But, after it is captured, a police officer fires four more shots at Chloe, killing the dog.” I don’t need to describe much more because it’s all on video.
However, in an unbelievable turn of events, the officer who killed this particular dog is actually being tried for a crime! He faces charges for animal cruelty. Why? Because of the video included above. The police department had initially avoided any responsibility. However, once this video was posted to the Internet, people reacted in shock.
“This video came out and changed things,” said Animal Lew Center lawyer Jennifer Edwards. She says that this case is a “turning point in animal law.”
