get close to him using an object which is always taught to use an object that way the dog you said you've taken training the first thing they teach you is to when a dog you to put an put an object in front and they will bite on any object you put in front of them that's the training that they put out so you take an object and you touch him and you see how he responds all right y good no we're not good I'm still sorry it happened to you brother good buddy all right have a good have a better night have a better night there is now a petition with over 3,000 signatures demanding that the city remove officer myON Woodson for what he did to Teddy in response to public outcry the city of Sturgeon Missouri issued the following statement on their Facebook page the sturgeon Police Department received a call out for an injured animal at large an officer with the SPD arrived and located the animal the SPD officer immediately noticed the dog was behaving strangely and displaying signs of possible injuries and or what the officer perceived to be rabid Behavior now that's not something that the body cam footage corroborates at all is it maybe I missed it but I didn't hear any concern in that entire conversation with the neighbor or with the dog's owner that there was a concern that the dog may have been rabid the SBD officer also noticed the animal did not have a collar or tags the SPD officer made numerous attempts to capture the dog using the catchpole based on the behavior exhibited by the dog believing the dog to be severely injured or infected with rabies and as the officer feared being bitten and being attacked or and being infected with rabies the SPD officer felt that his only option was to put the animal down it was later learned that the animal's behavior was because the animal was blind unfortunately the animal's lack of a collar or tags influenced the SPD officer's decision to put the animal down due to his belief that the animal was injured sick and abandoned all they needed to do was to apologize instead they issued a false statement clearly lying to the public the same public they are supposed to serve so if you're upset about this I will post a link to the petition sign the petition again it's got already over 3,000 signatures if you watch that footage and you're not outraged then you're part of the problem freedom is scary deal with it
