DFO: Capt. Ben Wolfinger of the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department sent this link to the local media re: a crash that happened in the Boise area an hour ago, with this note: ” For those of you who were still wondering why a dog was shot on the Interstate a few weeks ago, here is a perfect example of what can happen when decisive action is not taken to protect the public.”

Question: Now do you think the patrol officer did the right thing by shooting the loose pug along I-90 a coupla weeks ago?
