While I sympathize with the dog's owner, I agree with the officer's actions in pulling him over and trying to get him to calm down before letting him back behind the wheel.

I've been in the situation where I had to get a seizuring pet to an emergency clinic, more than once. I knew better than to speed or weave through traffic - if I got pulled over, it would take even longer to get the help the critter needed. And if I wrecked, it would cause even more problems than what I was already dealing with at the time.

Yes, the officer was a bit insensitive with his comments. But not everyone values pet-type animals the same way; I certainly don't value a cow in the same way a Brahmin would. And the Constitution does not include the right to not be offended.
