Seems kind of unfair to me, the dog was in a fenced yard, it was clearly marked
"beware of dog"...of course in the long run the crook is the one responsible...
One huge dog though, a Mastif is a scary opponent....

(CBS4 News) WEST PARK A police involved shooting in Broward County has led to the death of a dog.
Broward Sheriff's Office deputies who were looking for burglary suspects early Thursday morning shot and killed a homeowner's dog in West Park, BSO said.
The two deputies, both members of BSO's K-9 unit, were responding to a series of car burglaries when their canine partners picked up a scent which led them to a residential backyard in the area of Clifton Street just before 6:00 a.m.
When one of the deputies entered the fenced in yard, which did have a 'Beware of the Dog" sign, he encountered the 7-year old 170-pound Mastiff named 'Big Bo Blue". BSO officials say the deputy was forced to fire because he felt threatened by the big dog.
A second deputy in another yard, encountered another dog and fired his weapon as well but missed that animal.
Two burglary suspects were taken into custody. One of them has been identified as 20 year old Antonio Almeda. The second suspect is only 17 and has not been identified.
