Facts on Tyson

[Karen B. Wood]

1. It wasn't two officers against one dog. Tyson was already going after the parole officer when the others arrived. The officers weren't ganged up against the dog.
2. Running: We don't know whether or not Tyson made a move toward the officer,causing him to run. It doesn't make sense that the officer would just see Tyson and take off.
3. Yep, the owner is mostly at fault here, as Tyson was off-leash, and she was unable to restrain him or call him back.
4. However, it still shows Tyson's personality and tendencies.
5. It was more likely his size and what he was going that got him shot. Really, folks, are you going to be scared, as an adult,if a toy poodle, teacup chichuaua, or some other tiny dog growls at you? Again, size and also what the dog can get to. Not likely it was Tyson's breed.
6. Did anyone notice that the officers didn't get a say in the news?

I'm not quite sure what really happened here-what is this story about-was he saving someone or what?
