Officer shoots and kills dog

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police are investigating after an officer was forced to shoot and kill a dog.

The incident occurred in the area of 670 NW 128 Court, at around 6 p.m. Tuesday.

The owners of the Dutch Shepherd named Bosha were not home at the time, and the dog somehow found its way out of the home. A neighbor spotted the dog underneath his car and became concerned and called police.

Police then arrived on the scene and shot and killed the dog.

Bosha's owner, Odalys Gonzalez, came home to find her dog dead. "The officer went after the dog, OK, and that's when obviously the dog went again after him, and this time he shot the dog. The officer doesn't have any injuries," said Gonzalez.

As of now, Miami-Dade Police can only confirm that an officer did shoot and kill the dog and are investigating.
