Rugar, a beloved and devoted family dog, was shot in the face on Monday, July 9th and left to suffer by a St. Louis County, Minnesota Sheriff's Deputy...Officer Chris Cazin. The only reason that the officer drove down the quarter mile driveway was to deliver an old medical bill. After first tazing Rugar, he then shot the dog in the face, and then the officer left the property. Rugar's owner drove up a short time later to find his faithful friend gurgling on his own blood in the driveway. The magnitude of this situation is astounding, the cruelty that the officer showed is truly horrifying. Needless to say, Rugar had to be put down, there was no saving him...the only option was to humanely end his suffering. We have to put a stop to this kind of senseless violence. If we can't even trust officers to place proper judgement on the use of deadly force when it comes to our pets, how can we trust them with our children or ourselves? Please stand up for Rugar and the many other pets who have lost their lives in similar circumstances.
