More Good Cops: Another Innocent Dog Killed
Date of Interaction: August 21, 2015
Police Employee Involved: Deputy Robert Holcomb
Police Department: Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Department
Police Employee Contact Information: (716) 753-4371
Rocky has been part of our family for ten years. He was a full-blooded boxer who has never shown any signs of aggression or approached anyone with anything less than a wagging stub (his tail). I was working literally ten feet away from where he was laying and heard a man in a calm/friendly tone of voice say, “Lay down, boy.” Three seconds later, I heard the gun go off!
Rocky never barked at the deputy, or made any noise for that matter. I ran out to the street. I saw Rocky running, bleeding profusely, and heard him yelping loudly. I asked deputy Robert Holcomb why he shot my dog. He said, “I thought he was going to attack me.” I then asked why he thought that when Rocky didn’t even bark or growl at him. The deputy responded, “Well, I wasn’t going to give him a chance to!”
Justice needs to be served! He had no right shooting our dog just because “he wasn’t on a leash.”
Isn’t that what the “Dog Catcher” is for?
