Did You Hear The Story About Rosie The Newf?

I have been following this story since it began and it truly breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes.
I have read the story a hundred times and I just don’t get it.

You can read more about it here

Sick to your stomach yet? Keep reading it gets worse.

To see the memorial:SLIDESHOW: Memorial for dog shot in Des Moines sees dogs and people in mourning The Highline Times / Des Moines News

To see how the Newfoundland Club of America responded to what happened to Rosie go here.

I am proud to be a member of The Newfoundland Club Of America.
I stand behind my breed.

To read the police report on this incident you can go here. It is disgusting.

My questions about all this are:

Why in the hell did the dog have to be shot 4 times? 4 TIMES!!!!

There was a dog and children playing in the PARTIALLY enclosed yard where the dog ran to get AWAY from the officer, why didn’t they feel threatened by this so called “vicious dog?”

The person who called to report the loose dog, said they were afraid the dog was going to get hit by a car because CHILDREN were chasing it. CHILDREN were chasing a vicious dog?…Interesting.

I wonder if this officer sleeps good at night.
