Does this dog look "vicious" or "dangerous" to you? A cop in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, certainly thought so, and ended up shooting and killing him after an altercation. Arfie the two-year-old black lab was sitting in a van when a cop walked up next to it, concerned there was a reported child predator inside. When Arfie sensed the officer approaching, he jumped up against the window and started barking. The officer claimed he thought the lab was a "vicious" pit bull, and shot off a round of gunshots. Arfie later died from his injuries.
Whether Arfie was a pitt bull or not, why would the officer feel threatened by a dog who was behind a van door?
Arfie's owner says his dog didn't have a mean bone in his body, and was just barking like all dogs do when they see a stranger approaching.
