Great unbiased story. I appreicate your stating the facts and allowing the reader to digest the story. Personally cats are for me, but I do enjoy playing with a fun-loving dog.....Lab, German Shepard, Great Dane, Cocker Spaniel, etc. Dog ownership is not for me. FLKPits - Would you really feel safe and secure knowing that your kid was on the playground playing with those dogs in the state they appeard to be in? If the police officers had not thought the dogs were aggressive, would they really have shot the dogs? The public would have had a major issue had the dogs been spared. When it comes to saving/protecting the life of a human verses an apparent aggressive dog (more than one in this case) the choice is obvious. Will the owner of these dogs come forward and argue that the dogs weren't aggressive, just excited and a bit on edge because of the comotion? Heck no, the owner is gonna keep silent. I am not against any dog...I believe there is an ideal place for every dog to live a great life...there should be mandatory classes about dogs (know the dog and the responsibility that comes with dog ownership) before it becomes apart of the family. Its all about being a responsible member of society.
