Your answers are all so thoughtful and eloquent. I feel sort of at ease knowing these are the types of people the CIA is training and using. Thank you.

I am very sorry for your loss. Recently we had an incident in Baltimore where a woman's Shar Pei had gotten loose and was found in a parking lot. The dog was scared, however not aggressive, and an officer had it under control with one of those sticks with a loop at the end. After the dog was under his control, he stabbed it with a knife, killing it. The entire community was devastated even if we didn't know the woman or her dog, and there have been fundraisers for dog charities in the area.

I know that story has nothing to do with you, but yours reminded me. Anyway, I'm very sorry and I can't begin to imagine the frustration you must feel. As for my question, did the evidence really support the claim that they shot your dog while he was within feet of the officer? I imagine it would be easy to see if the dog was shot while running towards the house.

I know, it was messed up.

I learned things today! Thank you for sharing.
