Police Reviewing Case

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A Green Bay man has filed a complaint after police shot and killed his family's runaway dog.

The Hawley family's dog Dudley was recently spotted by a passerby between a fence and Highway 43 about a week after the Labradoodle ran away.

A police report said officers spent more than an hour trying to capture the dog, using a snare pole, food, pepper spray, even a Taser gun before they shot Dudley four times with a rifle. Officers were concerned the dog would wind up on the busy Leo Frigo Bridge and cause a crash.

Ray Hawley said if police had checked their reports, officers would have found out that he reported the dog missing. Hawley said he could have picked up the dog had police placed a simple phone call.

Police are reviewing the case

So now, if a dog bolts or gets out somehow, you not only have to worry about him being hit by a car, you have to worry about him being shot to death. They came after this lost frightened doodle with pepper spray, snare poles, and tasers? Gee I wonder why he wouldn't come to them? They had to shoot him four times?

I am sick over this. I really hope that there is some kind of consequence.

I was very upset after seeing this. My son in law is a police officer and I know that he would never have done anything like this. I sent his this link and they thought these actions were"insane". Our hearts and prayers go out to this family, we only hope that something is done, so this never happens again.

I am very upset by this. I have posted the article of Dudley on my facebook. I have a camper in our campground who has recently lost their dog in the King of Prussia/Philadelphia area. I hope they find their dog!!!!
