It was a aussie shepherd mix, not usually aggressive breed and if it was standing next to him on the porch so that he could shoot it in the back it was not being aggressive (at least in a typical aussie fashion). Now if he hit at it or yelled at it when it was beside him it might have become such. I don't know, but then that is on him. My parents have an aussie shepherd and when they get aggressive they go down near the ground and then suddenly explode in a burst (think herding goats) and then bite and shake.

What is going on here? Is this just SOP, show up at house, shoot dog, go on with day? Come on. I think we need some additional training. Peoples dogs are important, some are costly, the dog we are thinking of getting will cost around 1K. Plus--soot the dog in the back? REALLY?
