HBO Poll: Dog Shooting On I-90

Sheriff’s deputies say they were forced to shoot a pug on Interstate 90 after they were unable to catch the dog during rush hour traffic. Kootenai County sheriff’s Lt. Dan Soumas says officers from three agencies — the Idaho State Patrol, the Post Falls Police Department and the Sheriff’s Office — used food and entreaties to try to catch the little pug Friday afternoon, but the animal kept darting away from them, scampering into the 70 mph traffic and nearly causing several wrecks.Some passers-by also stopped to help, and the officers even brought a couple of leashed dogs out of cars to see if the pug would come over to check out a fellow canine, he said/ AP .
