Officer shot family's small blind dog that got lost outside

Stand with the town's residents to demand justice for Teddy the dog. This Tiny, Blind, Confused Dog Needed Help. A Cop Shot Him Instead. Sign Now    Arfin, Teddy the Shih Tzu lived with his owners in a small town in Missouri. The tiny little dog was going deaf and blind, and he escaped his outdoor kennel one Sunday. That's how he wound up wandering around the local community, confused and lost.   A kind neighbor found him and wanted to help. So they called the local police to ensure the dog was properly looked after and taken care of. But when the officer arrived on the scene, he did not help Teddy at all. Instead, after a few minutes, he shot two bullets into the small animal, leaving Teddy dead. The cop said he assumed Teddy was a stray and needed to be put down... with a gun. Later, he changed story and claimed he was worried Teddy might have had rabies. (He didn't have rabies.) Now, the entire town and neighboring communities are voicing their outrage. Residents are holding meetings and demanding accountability. But so far, local authorities have just temporarily suspend Officer Woodson, putting him on paid leave. This man shot and killed a completely innocent, helpless, tiny dog that just needed help! How can he be trusted to continue carrying a firearm or supposedly "serving" his community as law enforcement? Stand with the residents of this town and help us achieve justice for Teddy the dog. Sign the petition to demand that Officer Woodson be banned from gun ownership and fired from the Sturgeon, Missouri police department immediately! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S.
