According to Tuesday's KPLC 7 News, a Sulphur, La., police officer fatally shot a 14-month-old dog on Monday morning after being called out to investigate a call about two suspicious men who were trespassing.
Though the police officer has stated that the dog bit him, a witness to the traumatic scene has a different version of what took place at the parking lot of the Southwest Daily News. The young dog, named "Arzy Kensington," had been tied to a fence near a box truck which Brandon Carpenter, 28, and Logan Laliberte, 21, had taken shelter in when it started to rain.
According to Eric Midkiff, circulation manager at the Southwest Daily News, the officer who had been called out to the scene to investigate a possible trespassing, interacted briefly with the dog before firing the fatal shot. Midkiff described what he saw to the Huffington Post:
The dog was rubbing up against the cop,
He would rub the dog's back and then push him away. All of a sudden, he just jumped down and shot the dog in the head."
He added:
That dog did not bite that officer,"
"The dog was wagging his tail, his tongue was hanging out."
