Police shot blind pet dog. Town wants justice.

A police officer shot a blind pet dog. This small town wants justice.
A police officer called to help a blind and deaf dog shot it within moments of pulling up on scene. And Sturgeon residents want justice.
The zero-stoplight town has been thrust into turmoil in the nearly two weeks since the May 19 shooting of the 13-pound dog; the mayor resigned after initially defending the policeman. The new one suspended the officer. The dog’s owner filed a federal civil rights lawsuit asking for more than $1 million in damages.

Some residents, including those who describe themselves as pro-police, have gone as far as calling for the dismantling of their two-officer law enforcement agency.
