Information regarding 27 recent PUPPYCIDE cases is included.] (1) What are the qualifications of the officer who made the determination that the dog was “aggressive;” (2) what are the continuing education requirements and procedures for officers and supervisors of these law enforcement agencies; (3) what is the procedure for keeping on top of current issues and corresponding training; (4) if the involved officers of the suspected PUPPYCIDE and those investigating the firearm discharge investigation have: (a) certification theyve completed training in non-lethal methods of handling dog encounters, (b) when that training was completed, and (c) did they use the FREE materials that have been available for THREE years, since 2011, from the highest law enforcement office in the country, the United States Department of Justice (COPS Office) cops.usdoj.gov/files/RIC/Publications/e051116358_Dog-Incidents-508.pdf or did they use any of the other dog encounter materials listed on the Animal Voices PUPPYCIDE webpage (scroll down to “Is Information Available for Police Officers” animal-voices/puppycide/ or other appropriate dog encounter training materials approved by the department or governing body. Some kind of training MUST have happened such that appropriate distinctions may be made between an “aggressive” dog and a dog just being a dog, such as is referred to in this recent, short news video about Louisiana First Responders Dog Encounter Training - member from Governors Animal Welfare Commission states police officers are trained to be an authority and to take charge of situations and the dog is doing the SAME THING - this is his property and hes in charge of it and the two clash. nbc33tv/.../all.../la-first-responders-get-t.

Next chapter ... their paths crossed AGAIN - Jeffrey escaped from his new owner AGAIN so this owner surrendered him back to the VERY FULL KILL SHELTER. The officer that rescued him a few weeks ago has now adopted him and renamed him CHANCE. What an AWESOME OFFICER!!! Arlington TX PD had mandatory dog encounter training last year. On June 26, 2014 the Arlington PD posted a photo of a Pit Bull dog and the officer who found him (AND DID NOT SHOOT HIM) and it has now been seen more than 12 million times, has more than 177,000 likes and more than 71,000 shares.
