My dog is a member of the family. He does not react well with strangers in uniforms. The big event in his day is tearing up the mail that drops though the slot in the door from his archenemy, the postman.

My dog is small enough that we pick him up all the time. Should I have any warning a police officer was around, the dog would be immediately picked up to protect it from the police officer. Risking my life to protect my dog would not be a thing I would even think twice about.

However, In this and the many other similar dog shooting situations, the owner is given no warning of the event, as it is usually a police officer at a wrong address and the police officer suddenly enters the dog's territory by opening gates, entering into backyards, etc.

BTW strange babies have placed their hands inside the mouth of my dog on numerous occasions and although this may have scared the parents of the baby, I am not concerned at all that he would ever bite the babies hand or fingers.
