In August, a Missouri family's dog, Parker, wandered away from the family home during a violent storm. When the neighbor who found the dog called the police for help, instead of returning Parker to his family, an officer shot him and threw his body in a ditch.
According to a lawsuit filed this week by Parker's owners, Tylla and Bryan Pennington, Stoddard County, Missouri, police officer Rodger Seal arrived at Hillary Mayberry's home after she called the sheriff's office looking for assistance with Parker. Mayberry had posted earlier on Facebook about the found dog. However, instead of helping Mayberry find Parker's owners, or even taking her to a nearby shelter, Seal took the dog to a nearby wooded area and shot him.
