PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) A family wants answers after an Escambia County sheriffs deputy shot their dog in the head.

Mikaylah Colemans TikTok (@Mikaylakayla74) has more than 5 million views. It shows the seconds after a deputy shot her dog, Xander.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhDzk9sKiBw

Were telling you stop, she said. Hes friendly stop hes friendly and you shot him anyway.

The 3-year-old foxhound/beagle mix was in their yard near Kentucky and New Mexico Drive. Not far down the street, deputies were chasing after a suspect with felony warrants and thats when Xander ran towards the road. Coleman said she took Xander outside as she usually does, and he got excited when he saw the commotion in the road.

You just took somebodys best friend somebodys dog a family member, Mikaylah said.
Her mom, Michelle Coleman, said he was a friendly dog even to strangers.

He just wasnt an aggressive dog, Michelle said. The people in the neighborhood knew Xander, and you know, theres other ways he couldve resolved the issue.

The veterinarian told them he was in a lot of pain and would need surgeries, so they decided to put him down about an hour after the shot was fired.

WKRG News 5 reached out to the Escambia County Sheriffs Office and received this statement:
On 11/19/2021, Escambia County Sheriffs Office deputies were in a foot pursuit with a suspect with felony warrants, when a dog who was loose in the neighborhood charged at one of our deputies. The deputy asked the owner to retrieve the dog; however, the dog continued towards the deputy in an aggressive manner. The deputy fired one shot when the dog got within three feet of him in the roadway.

The officer then said to them, You guys back up so I can put him out of his misery, and Im like, Why would you say that when youre the one who put him in misery? Michelle said.

The Colemans say they just want the deputy to face some kind of punishment and be held accountable for what happened.

The deputy didn't need to shoot the dog, and the dog should not have been loose

Sad but fair. Control your dog, it's fucked that people put others in a position where rhey don't know if this unknown dog charging at them is friendly or not, that's a hell of a gamble

I guess the suspect got away if the officer was busy killing a family pet?

The treatment of family pets, particularly dogs, is horrific, heart-wrenching, and often at times sadistic though in this scenario the dog shouldn't have been wandering in the street. Still, a beagle isn't much of a threat, fuck that sheriff.

Actually a very high percentage have suffered serious dog bites, so I wouldn't call that "just fine".

As I said in the other topic about another cop attack on a dog, I have a fear of dog barking, so I can understand how this can provoke a "Fight or flight" response.

However, the cop's force was too excessive, and it seems the dog's companions already assured the cop that he is just friendly. Not to mention this is just a smaller breed, so yeah. This shouldn't have happened.

Deputy should be tried and convicted of murder. Since it's Florida, I wouldn't be surprised if they still have the death penalty.

They were trying to. It sounds like everything happened really fast. Dog slipped away from them and ran towards cop to say hi. Family begged cop not to shoot. Cop shot. Probably ly all happened within a minute. Family was likely trying to approach the dog but either they couldn't rea h it before the cop fired or the cop may have been threatening to kill the family if they got too close

It's almost as if people can seriously dislike a group of people and still recognize when they were in the right without letting their personal feelings and bias affect their opinion.

Fuck cops 99% of the time, this is the 1% of the time I'll say they made the right call. Obviously you've never been attacked by a dog, that shit is terrifying and I support anyone who defends themselves against a loose charging dog.

Fuck off

Like a lot of therapy.

Ive been attacked by a dog too. But you have serious trauma from it and it leads to you saying insane shit.

Because that doesn't mean anything. Most dogs are friendly until they aren't, and obviously the dog's owner thinks their dog is friendly

It's a beagle.

If a police officer cannot handle a beagle without discharging a firearm then they should not be a police officer.

The danger presented just by simply unholstering a firearm in that situation is orders of magnitude greater than anything a beagle could do.

As someone who has worked in delivery for over a decade and is frequently on other people's properties and dealing with dogs I have zero respect for cops so eager to pull the trigger

There is an extremely long list of options available to deal with a potentially troublesome dog and using a gun is like using a baseball bat to swat at a fly.

But yeah I've never ever been bit and I know how to approach dogs and not upset them

i saw a ups man had some milkbones with them to help occupy the dog.
non-poisoned of course.

it's a friendly dog just likes to bark but it calms them long enough to get a delivery done.
