TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - A local police chief who shot two Boston Terriers after he says they attacked him during a walk is now suing the dog owners.

Court filings show Blissfield Police Chief Dale Greenleaf is suing the family that owns the dogs involved in the incident. He’s seeking damages, claiming the owners negligently left a gate open let the dogs get out and failed to supervise them. One of the dogs died and the other was hospitalized with serious injuries.

Police looked at Greenleaf’s injuries and did not find puncture marks, but found what appeared to be teeth abrasions on his stomach and right leg.

    two Boston Terriers

    Fucking coward.

    It’s not at all necessary but, if you’re a cop pissing your pants in fear (as usual), then you can just kick these tiny dogs away.

    Probably just stretch marks, it isn’t like the police are medical professionals.

    Absolute fucking piece of shit of a pathetic excuse for a human being. I have two boston terriers, they can, at most, “pinch” you if they’re agressive, especially through clothes. No way in hell a grown ass pig can justify shooting at small dogs like that as proportionate to anything. And suing the victims then? What kind of sadistic harassment is this?

    Maybe the chief should make the world a better place and shoot himself instead.

    Shoot at my dogs, one of us will be dead very soon.
