Aaron Peterson, Mr. Miller's 15-year-old son, said he was asleep on the couch beside his Rottweiler when he heard banging on the door. "I was just getting ready to get up and the door flew open," Aaron told The Philadelphia Daily News. "They had their guns up. They said, 'Get the dog!' Then they shot him four times."

Officers also killed a Labrador retriever. Mr. Miller said the dog was running away from the officers and trying to hide under the dining room table.
Damn pussy dog.

Family irate after police raid home, killing their pit bull

"They never afforded us the opportunity to restrain Max before shooting him in close range," Perry said. "Anyone who has met the dog will tell you he has never acted in an aggressive manner."

The family pleaded with officers to let them restrain the dog, she said, describing the animal as a 5-year-old American pit bull. Max was barking as any dog would if confronted by a dozen strangers with automatic weapons, Perry said.

Perry and other family members adamantly denied the dog lunged at officers.

"The running family joke is that he is a poodle dressed as a pit bull," she said. "He was a big, gentle baby who never had any problems."

The dog was shot because he was a pit bull and the breed has a reputation for being menacing, Perry said.
