MILWAUKEE (CN) - In a fruitless search of a home for an alligator and wolves, Milwaukee police shot to death two Tibetan mastiffs, the most valuable dog in the world, which recently set a record of more than $1 million for a single puppy, the dogs' owner claims in court.

Jane Flint sued Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, six police officers and a sheriff's deputy, in Federal Court.

She claims Milwaukee police shot to death two of her four friendly dogs while searching her house for dangerous animals - and all they found were turtles.

Flint says it happened like this: In May 2010 she was living in a home owned by her boss, nonparty Terry Cullen.

According to the 19-page lawsuit, Cullen bred and rehabilitated reptiles, including crocodiles, snakes and alligators, for zoos and humane societies.

On May 7, 2010, police Det. Phil Simmert and another officer took a complaint from an informant who claimed that while considering an internship with Cullen, "he treated her in a sexually inappropriate manner, and that he was illegally handling and keeping various reptiles, including alligators, in various locations," Flint says in the lawsuit.
