Missouri Cop Fatally Shoots Deaf and Blind Dog, Sparking Community Outrage

Bodycam footage shows the officer shooting the non-aggressive dog, leading to public outcry and a planned lawsuit.

The dog, a 13-pound Shih Tzu named Teddy, was deaf and blind and showed no signs of aggression.
The officer initially claimed he was putting the dog out of its misery, then said he feared for his life.
City officials have defended the officer's actions, citing concerns about rabies and public safety.
The dog's owner, Nicholas Hunter, plans to sue the city for emotional distress and inappropriate action.
A petition and community protests are calling for the officer to be removed from duty.
