California police shoot elderly cocker spaniel
On June 17, a Concord, California Police officer drew his .40 caliber pistol and shot 13 year-old Kirby in the back. Police had entered the owner’s backyard unannounced where they surprised Kirby. Kirby’s owner Zach Grimm said they heard the jingle of someone opening their back gate. Next, they heard a bark and a subsequent gunshot. Grimm said Kirby barked “like any dog protecting its home.” According to police, the officer felt threatened by the 29 pound cocker spaniel and used lethal force even though he had pepper spray. Police claim they were looking for a burglar when they entered the backyard around 4:30pm.
One of Grimm’s roommates who saw the shooting said the officer drew his gun just to shoot Kirby. Grim said “The officer who shot at him, after it was over he just sort of had this goofy look on his face, almost like a smirk, and then he left. No explanation, no apology or anything.” Part of the .40 caliber bullet passed through Kirby’s body while the rest is logded in his spine. Grim said, “we think he’s going to make it.” “I can’t believe he’s alive, to be honest with you.”
Pet Adoption Fund-All I Want For Christmas!
Hi everyone!
Bradley is a beautiful Cocker Spaniel who has never had a home outside of the shelter at Pet Adoption Fund in Canoga Park, California. We love him dearly and he is a volunteer favorite, but he has been here many, many years and there is nothing we want more for him than a good home. I am one of the volunteers who walks him and he gets so excited when he sees me. His darling face lights up and his tail wags so much his entire body moves like he’s doing a “happy to see you” dance. Imagine coming home to him every night?
He is a happy go lucky dog who just needs a chance! He seems very partial to the ladies and while we recommend taking it slow in the beginning with him, one he knows you, he loves to give kisses, shakes your hand, sits and will faithfully be by your side! He loves to go for walks and being active. He’s a great companion and would give so much love to the person who will give him a chance. We would love for him to finally know what it feels like to have a loving home with a comfortable bed and a loving human all for himself!
You can see his handsome face on our holiday video “All I Want For Christmas.”
