Wonder if the officer who shot this dog was on attachment from the London Metropolitan Police?

Both forces seem to have a shoot first ask questions later policy re dogs?

Over here dog owners go ballistic (no pun intended) if the ‘evil’ council dog warden dares to seize their dog if it strays! How mad would they be if their dog ended up being shot in the street?

If the town has ordinances in place regarding dog control, how can this dog be a ‘town dog’ if dogs have to be controlled and presumably this means not be wandering around town on their own there must have been an infringement of the town’s dog control laws?

Istead of going after the officer who shot a stray dog that was attacking innocent livestock and had just bit a innocent woman, how about going after the woman that took the dog to get it neutered, vaccinated and collared. That sound like she took the dog in and would have been the owner. This woman should be responable for the dog bitting that woman.

Oh poor Buddy, “the ultimate betrayal of man’s best friend”, the freak’n dog was a stray and bit someone…
Now the town is selling “Justice for Buddy” t-shirts… the dog bit a woman. The town wants to build somekind of memorial for Buddy, “The Town Dog”, who do one wanted. Did I mention the Buddy bit someone? I dunno, call me smart but it sounds like justice was served. I would like to add that I love dogs, but I see nothing wrong with shooting the bitting dog because the Owen County Humane Society could not and would not take the dog.

Everyone is so upset that the dog was shot. The Owen County Humane Society would not take him, no one in the town would take him… What do the town’s people expect? Just let the bitting dog run free again? Seriously… What should have been done that the deputy didnt already do?

The people of Spencer banded together to have him neutered, vaccinated and collared. But, no one bothered to give him a home. Why was the “Town Dog” left to wander the streets?

The President of the Humane Society’s Board of Directors saw the dog tied to a trailer…but she didn’t think to investigate further?

Now, everyone’s outraged–blaming the deputy for shooting Buddy, after he went after some pinned goats and bit a woman.

Too many things surrounding this story don’t make sense.
The people of Spencer should accept responsibility.

A “Town Dog” left to wander the streets???
