Item: Deputy: Dog was shot due to traffic /Alecia Warren, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: A loose pug distracting drivers around 6 p.m. near the Post Falls sewer plant managed to elude officers from Idaho State Police, Post Falls police and the sheriff’s department, Wolfinger said. Several civilians also stopped to help, he added, but they could only wait so long. “The dog wouldn’t let them get close enough to get it into the car, and after seeing several near crashes, we decided the only way to deal with it was to destroy the dog,” he said.
