Dog owner asks for answers after policeman shoots his pet

Todd Pook thought he heard fireworks Friday afternoon beside his home at 132 E. Belmont St.

What he actually heard was two gunshots fired at his dog, Chase, an Akita-rottweiler mix, after the animal was approached by a Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officer investigating a breaking-and-entering call across the street.

"I stepped out on my back porch, and I could see the smoke from the gun," Pook said.

The dog was injured in both hind legs, requiring 21 stitches in one leg and a drainage tube for fluid in the other. Pook said he paid more than $1,000 for surgery and an overnight stay for Chase at his veterinarian's office.
