Maybe I'm reading this wrong. But, ummmmm wasn't there a fence in between the dog and the detective? Are dogs not allowed to growl and lunge behind a fence in their own yard anymore?

Maybe it's just me. But, I could swear there really IS a problem with this shooting.

At least the dog wasn't trying to visit it's heart-attacked father in a hospital and thrown over his car hood for speeding .........

Oh yeah, but he IS dead and people left mourning a beloved pet. I guess the next move by the sheriff's office is to enter this property illegally since they removed the deterrent.

On second, third and fourth read I realize that maybe the dog was outside the fence. Still, he is protecting his property ....

RIVERVIEW - A Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office detective shot and killed a dog this morning.

Deputies went to serve a warrant on a man they believed to be living at 10617 Cone Grove Rd. They were looking for Robert Davis for failing to appear on a contempt of court charge.

Detective John Masson, 32, looked over a privacy fence in an effort to find Davis, according to sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter. A 2- to 3-year old pit bull named Cheech came out of the fenced-in area and went between some sheds and a pickup truck, she said.

Carter gave the following account of the incident, which took place at about 6:45 a.m.:
The dog came out into the open and started growling at Masson.

Masson grabbed his gun.

The dog lunged and the deputy fired four shots, killing the dog.

Brandy Downer, who lives at the address with her boyfriend Mitchell Davis – brother of the man being sought by deputies – said the dog was hiding under the truck when it was shot. She also said Robert Davis never lived at the address.

The case will be reviewed by the sheriff office shooting review board, Carter said.

“There appeared to be no problem with the shooting at this time,” said Carter.
