Almost shot a police dog yesterday! (long)

Look at the bright side. You have no upcoming court appearances, the dog is well and so are you.
And, you get to spend NYE in freedom, not a cage.

:B

It could have been worst you could have been shot by the police officer.

Close call! Those cops think of their K-9 assistants as furry officers, so you would indeed have been in the deep end.

I have to wonder, though, why you think a BB gun would help? A real gun will make noise and have some chance of scaring a dog away. So might a starter pistol, for that matter, if scaring it is all you want to do. A BB gun won't scare them. Pfft. Hardly any noise. You'd have to hit the dog to bother it, and the BB gun is more likely to injure it than kill it, which is bad if it turns out to be a mean or rabid dog and in its pain it decides to come after you.

Maybe you should get a regular gun and buy some blank cartridges for it.

Did officer ever say what he and the dog were doing there? Sounds like the dog had a tracking harness on...any indication who or what he was tracking????

What was the cop doing behind your motorhome?

Well, I know that got your adrenaline going! I may have watched too many Forensic Files, but I for sure would've wanted to know if they were tracking a dangerous suspect, escapee, or what? I'm thinking maybe he was training the dog? It sounds like the GSD was well behaved. All's well that ends well, whew!

I would paint the entire BB gun bright orange, so a cop won't think it was a real gun, and shoot first!

Now don't go giving criminals ideas. They may paint real guns bright orange and cops may think they are fake and get themselves killed. It's a wonder that hasn't happened yet..........

Just that they were looking for a guy wearing a fedora. And yes they were tracking him with dog. Police said they were tracking on the road and the scent came down to my house which is over an acre back.

After the K9 officer came forward within minutes the entire force was on my property cop cars all over. Going inside my MH and car, etc. :R

The whole time I'm trying to get all my barking screaming dogs in and then once inside I see my 16 year old is throwing himself on the window trying to get to the K9 standing right outside it and falling backwards crashing and burning. Poor guy has 2 herniated disks I surely didn't need all that happening.

Along with all my civil rights as a property owner being ripped to shreds right before my eyes.

I looked it up on the copshop website and it was an adult male reported missing and a danger to himself claiming to do harm and off his meds. I took his name of the crime report and I found his facebook and the guy is a wackadoodle fascinated with guns and weird stuff. He posted over 80 posts/pictures on his facebook prior to going missing.........and he lives off to the side behind the tree line behind my house.

I have a privacy fence around part of the backyard because of the pool but not to property line. Sounds like it's time to put up a stockade fence around ALL the property.

I just got my 16 year old senior all straighten out from getting hung up on the mini blind strings and now he is all crippled up again.

Investors just bought that house and turned it into a rental. I think its time to call them. In the mean time yesterday I put up a hot wire fence along the back that borders that property! :B
